Thanks Moke.
I'm probably going to get the TL set with the B&K matching and the "deluxe" shock mounts. I wonder if that'll make difference with the vertbar?
I have both the stock mounts and the super mounts. You cannot run XY with the supermounts on a Shure vert bar. The mounts are too big. XY with the stock ones on a vert bar is a piece of cake. I got the supermounts for amphitheaters and arenas wher I will be running DIN on a normal AKG T bar.

calico - I use the standard akg t-bar for all my NC micing needs. I've just started dabbling in C techniques and for that I mount one mic on top of the stand and the other mic I clamp below it, check out "my rig" in the rig pics section.
I've already got the AKG t-bar, so it looks like I'm all set.
I've always had bright mics, so I never messed around with XY much. At least in the beginning, I'll stick with NC configs.
It seems like most TL users are recommending the standard shocks. That would save some $$$.
