suggestions for lavaliere mics

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

I'm looking to replace/upgrade my current collection (Sony ECM-44Bs)
and was wondering if anybody has any recommendations, good and/or bad,
on any of the following lavs. Thanks.

Sanken COS11
Tram TR-50BPS
Countryman B-6
Countryman EMW
Sennheiser MKE2

Thanks for the feedback Karl. Much appreciated.
Sorry for forgetting to mention my application is mainly talking heads
such as on-camera interviews.
BTW, great company you work for. I've been a customer for over 10
years and recommend them to anyone looking for a good wireless.
