i'd say, do it.

worst case scenario, you'll use it for snare top and the 57 for snare bot.

Do you mean studio Fredman mic position? I use a 57 and an i5 when mic'ing guitar cabs and it sounds great and prettymuch everytime I'm using Fredman position too

I also used it on snare but the other way around - 57 top i5 bottom and that's a nice combination too. Definately worth a shot.

EDIT: I also know that Scott @ Grindhouse used this combination on one of (if not both) the Sylosis albums

haha it might be fredman.. its the clayman sound described here on the forum. Is that what you talked about? and thanks everyone for the advices. i just dont understand why its more expensive than the57... strange thing
