Agree with the others above.
I have some cheaper equipment that I find comes out of the cabinet for special circumstances.
I have twin, 16-year old boys who are into music. They're happy with the "hand-me-downs" (i.e, mixing board, Rode NT1s, extra 58s, old Alesis One Reference monitor system, etc).
I agree. You can never seem to have too many mics lying around.
