unfortunately/fortunately, there are alot of options out there in that price range and for stealthing...everything from DPA's to Schoeps billbox systems (well in that range without the caps), etc. I think the best advice I can give is trust your ears, and also when it comes to stealthing, consider the amount of gear. For example, I am planning on upgrading late this year, early next year to more of a low profile rig that will allow me to stealth/stand tape with good results with the same set of mics. I have always liked the Neumann KM140 series, but even with the active cables, I would have to haul around the bodies...not a real good plan when I am trying to get metal through a metal detector to have to hide to bodies. As a result, I am leaning towards the 4022's, Schoeps billbox or AKG JK labs setup. I guess the point I am getting at here, is consider all aspects of use prior to purchase, it will make it easier to avoid having to make another purchase decision in the short term
