RM 700 : Surprisingly good value

I'm new to home recording and to ribbon mikes, I'm predominantly a guitar player and have some boutique valve amps capable of great sounds at 'home' volumes and wanted to be able to capture that on my basic DAW. I tried an SM57 and a LDC mic, not bad but not what I was after.so after reading a lot on the Internet I thought I'd try the RM700. I don't know how these are made for the price, packaging is great and the mic itself has a nice weight and feels solid. Sound is great, deep and rich. Ribbons are typically a bit lacking in upper frequencies but I didn't find this to be a negative thing with this mic, also it seemed to have plenty of output, I certainly didn't need to crank the gain too much (using a focusrite saffire6) so noise wasn't a problem either. All in all, I'm delighted with this so far.
