I would not wast the money on replacing the MC-60 with a Heil.  If
you *really* want a "professional" mic, look at an ATR-30 which is
generally available for half of what a PR-20 or similar Heil "Pro"
mic.  You will not be able to tell the difference among the three
in "blind" listening tests.

Use the TX EQ - don't waste your money on another mic.
