OT: stage mic recommendations

Looking for a performance mic for a female vocalist.

AKG has the "ELLE" which is supposedly optimized for females. Any one used one?

Opinions on these:
Senn 865, 945
AKG C5, C900M, C535EB, ELLE
Rode S1
Neumann KMS 104/105MT

thanks all,
Rocky

They're all good.
You should take your vocalist to a big store and have her "test drive" several models until you agree on one that fits her voice and style.

When you buy one, make sure you know the store's return policy in case it isn't right. If your vocalist smokes, don't plan on returning it.
