either of those would be excellent choices, I have owned them both, the 393's will be the more utilitarian of the two and will, imho, be more easy to resell, I now own 480's which are much less foregiving and it is often that I wish for the simple and reliable 393's, hell I remember making outstanding recordings with them even outside and inside they will tend to filter out much of the chatter and crowd noice common with smaller venues, I think my old 393's are for sale right now in the yard sale, come to think of it some of my recordings with them are on archive.org, look and listen to Signal Path from 9-12-03 (inside) and 9-13-03 (outside), good examples
