Sell the me66, and go for the AT4053a for an all-around mic? Is it worth keeping the me66, or use it for money towards the audio tecna? Thanks,

skip the AT and aim a little higher. AT mics all sound thin to me and I can usually pick them right out in any comparison of mics. consider a sennhieser, or even a sanken CS-1. the CS-1 is certainly a short shotgun closer to a hyerpcardiod in pickup. the CS-3 has much higher side rejection and will make useable sound in noisy environments where the CS-1 won't. the rode NT-3 might be worth checking out too
