Vocal mics

Wasn't sure where to post this, to off-topic it is!
A mate picked up 4 Sennheiser e855's several years ago, and we use them a lot.
One's just died, and it's a discontinued line. The e835 and e845, which are still in production, don't sound anywhere near as good.
None of us are experts in that area, he just got lucky (worked in the store!).
What would people suggest we try out as alternatives?

Is it just for live use? Then yeah, just get 58 or 58beta. You can even use that to mic your cab if you want to record your guitar through a tube amp.

Shure 58 has been the standard for a long time. The Beta I've no experience with, but they're more expensive, so they must be better, right?
