One thing to remember is that there is a fair used market for 451's (for studio work??), so they may be overpriced. I have not tried them, though. I'm using 391/393 (CK91, CK93 caps with a self-made battery box, really) and like them. These can often be had very cheap. Soon I'll be trying CK63's (if I can "activate" them).
