Since you're asking us tapers, the bundle that makes most sense for a typical taper will always be stealthy cards + recorder.
I e U853 + either DR-40 or R-05. If I was to buy my first rig, I'd probably go for the R-05 if had to choose between the two.
Are the U853's custom Y-cabled with a 1/8" plug and intended to run on PIP? Or bbox/pre? Maybe that shows up as an add-on choice in your shop?
What about high SPL distortion? There's always been talk about AT mics being designed for 3-wire and applying the 4.7K mod. What's your take on that when offering this bundle? Is it suitable for loud rock settings?
Just my $.02 since you asked...
