The two mics you've linked, I believe are actually the exact same mic. Shure recently bought the mic division of Crowley and Tripp, and re-badged them under their own name. I don't know how many internal changes they've made to them, nor have I heard either version. Also being that they're ribbons they have a figure 8 polar pattern, which could be good or bad for jam session depending on how savvy you are at utilizing they're null points.
What's your budget? For roughly the price of the mics you listed, there are a ton of great mics to choose from. Off the top of my head: Shure KSM32, Shure KSM44, Shure KSM141 AKG 414, Neumann TLM103, Neumann TLM102, Neumann BCM104, Neumann KM184, Bock 195, Mojave MA200, Blue Blueberry, Audio Technica 4047, Audio Technica 4050, Audio Technica 4060, Rode K2 and a whole variety of others.
I've used quite a few of these, and most of them should do what you need.

IMO the 4050 is a great all purpose mic. I consider it a much underrated choice. A pair of those would be a nice starting point to building a great kit of mics.gamblor wrote:christ. there's a hell of a lot out there to choose from isn't there? the at4050 is looking like a front runner in the group listed here. once i buy i'll let ya's all know what i went with. thanks for all the advice!

Yessum. We have one and we put this on it. I've never really used it much, Andrew tried it out as a room mic on his last session though.
