besides church-audio cardioid mics you could also check out:
cardioids:
-SP-CMC-4U(AT853U)=>224$ with mod=> get them only with low-sens-mod(4.7k mod) from soundprofessionals.com or as 3-wire terminated with 2 mini-xlr into a 3 wire battery-box from the yard-sale here at taperssection !!!
-MM-HLSC-1 Sennheiser from microphonemadness.com for 250$
don´t forget to order holding-clips for your mics...IMHO the shure-premium holding clips are BEST!
