Also, if a distorted guitar. There isn't going to be a lot of difference. My 99.00 MXL Ribbons are nearly indistinguishable from my Royer 121s close micing an amp with gain. The difference is there but its' minimal due to all the midrange. This will change some if you like to scoop mids though but I don't hence the result.

Now the MXL compared to the Royer 121 across the board? That is a completely different story, no contest.
