The E609 has way too much top end "air" for my taste, which is why I opted for the E906. I've never really been unhappy with the 57, specially after modding it, I am just bored with it. It IS the "tried and true workhorse", and I'm ok with that, but I would be more enthusiastic about using a 57 on snare rather than guitar cabs. I'm hoping the Beyer M69 will give me the edge of a 57 without the raspy junk that comes along with using a 57.
The E906 just rules on guitar cabs, and I am glad I picked it up. Aside from the M69, I am also considering an Avantone CV12.
