I love those, but I suspect AKG is phasing them out as they are/were half price at Thomann's a few weeks ago.
However, there's a far cheaper option:

These mics come with a new Chinese capsule that's maybe even as good as an AKG. I have played with the previous version and that one is already good. According to someone who knows mics, the new ones are even better.
And FWIW, I often prefer SDC's over LDC's. And so does B&K, fi.
