Most dynamic mics can take more of a pounding (SLP-wise & physically) than condensers. If dynamic mics work for you, you can try experimenting with others like Shure SM-58, Audix D2, Sennheiser e609 (designed for guitar cabinets), Sennheiser 835 or 845. Most of those are under $200. Some might work as well, or better, (or worse!!) depending on your sound and the kind of music you play. For instance, I don't care for the combination of an SM-57 w/Mackie 1604/1402/1202 mixers at all. I prefer a Sennheiser 421, 441 or EV RE 20. I know those mics are pricey, so a good economical alternative for me is a Sennheiser 845 or e609. Everyone is different.

Good luck,
Garry
