There are 2 reasons why I stick with SM-58's for vocals...first, I'm used to 
its sound and I never fail to get a good sound with it, that 3k peak not- 
withstanding (frankly, I've never noticed it but I do notice that when I use 
other mics they're TOO responsive...maybe that's what you're talking about). 
And B, it's the only mic that I've ever seen get slammed down onto a hard 
concrete floor and the worst that happens to it is it gets a dent in the 
windscreen.  Other mics will surely crumble and fail when that happens, but 
not a Shure.  I do a lot of gigs at a lot of different places and I need a 
mic that isn't a wussy.  All other mics are wussies.
