ADK or Studio Project?

[::XeS::]

I need a new condenser mic to use for guitars and cymbals.
I found ADK S-51 and I read very good things about these mics. In the same price range there is also the Studio Project C1.
I think it's way better the first one but unfortunatelly I found them only in U.S.A. and nothing in Europe, so I'll pay customers etc...
What do you recommend?

Anyone?

SE electronic would be an option.
I bough an SE2000 for use at room mic, and sound interesting on guitar too.
I can reamp a track for you if you want hear this Michele

Btw, lot of advice about SE on gearslutz.
Other option would be Rode nt1

 

[::XeS::]

It's Michele
Anyway it would be cool if you could record a clip. Maybe the same clip reamped one time with the 57 and one time with the SE2000 in the same position.
Thank you very much

Thank you very much.
The 2A is 2 inch away or 2cm away? And from the grill cloth or side from the center?

2cm from the grill for DC micing...

For coupled mic I start with sm57 (2cm from the grill) and I put SE in phase with sm57 (adjusting phase by ear and invert phase for see cancelation with both mic). SE is at 2,1cm from the grill
