In my understanding, you'd be better off with the preamp and mics rather than the battery box and mics - the preamp will allow you to record loud shows and quiet shows, so it's more versatile.

I could be wrong, though, so don't take that as gospel.

That is 100% correct. A preamp allows you to record in a wider variety of venues and types of music. If you can afford to get a preamp you should. If you were recording metal shows all the time I would say dont bother with a preamp.. If you want to be able to record a lot of different types of music then get a preamp.

what is the max spl rating of the stereo cardioid mics you are selling?. also, with the preamp, how much more will it increase spl and will it produce anymore unwanted noise?

I have measured my mics at 114 db they produce less then .05% distortion The preamps does not add to the distortion what so ever and it does not increase the Max SPL of my microphone or any microphone for that matter, I try to build preamps that dont produce any unwanted noise its bad for business So no my preamp does not produce unwanted noise..
