What should I do?
DaryanLenz:
I think the gefell's alone are going to run around 6-700 bucks per pair. They are quite nice though!
I am going to be running the 200's in the near future!

I don't think you can go wrong with the M300s, Geoff. I only have one or two recordings with these mics - really nice. I've heard and read nothing but rave reviews about the M300s, too. But, most importantly, it sounds like your ears like them:

If your ears like 'em, I say go for it.
Even if new at $700 as Daryan says, that still leaves you $100 for a used PS2 for power and $40 for line transformers, you're looking at $840 - pretty darn close to your $800 budget!
Keep your eye on the Oade Gear Exchange - lots of good gear up for sale there pretty regularly, you might luck out and come across an M300 pair, and surely have a good shot at a used PS2.

Thanks guys for all the help, it really means alot to me. I think I'm going to go with the M300's> PS-2 for now and if I enjoy it the upgrade bug might hit me next year. By the way can someone point me in the direction of where i can buy line transformers?
Thanks Again

Just to follow up, I have been doing quite a bit of my own research on gefell's in the last couple of months. Go to gprime.com, and see if they have some demo's. I got my m200's from them this week for as grand total of 795 dollars, including 2 card caps, one omni, and one hyper cap. I am going to sell the omni and buy another hyper I think. The guy I talked to and who answers the questions is very nice and professional, I would highly reccomend them. Otherwise, check out the overseas retailers for new ones. I was quoted 675 and 695 by the two well known retailers here, and the gell m200 was about 100 dollars cheaper at musicians-gear.com. Just some food for thought! I will post the exact price in a second!

DaryanLenz:
OK, well they are 900 a pair overseas, which seems like a lot. I would talk to gprime. Tell them you saw the special they were offering last year for buy one get one half off, and see if they will still honor that. I know they still had it a couple months ago!
