For sound: CMC-4 (aka, AT853). These are a good price now too.
For size: CMC-8 (aka, AT943). These are also a good price.
By the way, if you buy CMC-8, you can buy adapters (AT-ADAPT, $5 each) and put AT853 capsules on later if you decide you want either a bit better sound, or maybe you have some AT853 caps lying around (like me).

PS: if you have problems with overloading at high sound levels, try building the battery box I describe at: www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/~mannr/AT853.

Is this a known fact that the CMC-4/AT853's sound better than the CMC-8/AT943's, or just a matter of opinion? Is it proven, and is there evidence out there that the CMC-4's sound better? I own the CMC-8's and think they sound great, but never read that the CMC-4's actually sound better. Not trying to be difficult, I'd just really like to know...maybe I'll get the adapter and get some 853's if they really do sound better.
Thanks much! :D
edit: I'm running mine modded for phantom use only

Well.
I'm goona upgrade to a 3-wire battery box since I'm taping ONLY heavy metal loud shows.
Guess i'm being lightly brickwalled when the shows are really LOUD, I taped Opeth this saturday and even the floor was shaking because of the high leves that came out from the PA's... so I'm gonna make this 3 wire battery box in a short lead time. I thought on this upgrade when I ordered extra cable for my CMC-4 (at853), I'm pretty skilled into soldering, designing and electronics in general.
Thanks to poorlyconditioned I'll be able to save the 50$ upgrade from SP and the shippment cost!!
