I went with the CMC-4's and I'm VERY satisfied with my results. I haven't tried the hyper caps yet but that doesn't worry me. Make sure you use the 9V battery box, though. (I use the standard battery box with level controls and selectable roll-off) If you put phantom power into those mics YOU WILL FRY THEM. They are only capable of 10v. Even 12v might be pushing it.
