Which mic to get

I hope in the next week I'll be looking at getting a new microphone.

I am replacing my Shure SM 57 with one of these two, and I need some suggesations,

Heil PR 40 or Electrovoice RE 20

If you're considering the EV RE-20, then you should consider it's direct, head-to-head competition, the Shure SM-7B (http://www.shure.com/ProAudio/Products/WiredMicrophones/us_pro_SM7B_content). You can often find the SM-7B for a lower price than the RE-20, for no reason I've been able to figure out. While they look very different cosmetically, they're actually very similar inside.

In that case the PR 40 wins hands down.
