Heil PR 35 vs Telefunken M80 vs AE6100

Hello,

I need some advice from experienced vocalists and recording engineers who have used all 3 of the following mics:

1. Heil PR 35
2. Telefunken M80
3. Audio Technica AE6100


Purpose: I am looking to get one of these for female vocals (style is breathy vocals with frequent use of falsetto) at live settings.

Some findings:

1. I've a friend who uses the AE4100 and strongly endorses the mic for its added low frequency presence that adds a lot of body to her soft projection.

2. I've read one review that says Heil mics aren't durable and damage easily. Will like to know if they are fragile in handling.

3. Reviews for the Telefunken M80 vary very wildly from being the best dynamic mic for its price range, to being poorly overpriced with better and cheaper alternatives.

I am currently using a Blue enCore 300 for live performances and will preferably like to get a dynamic mic that has the same if not better level of detail and volume and it seems my choices and budget are down to these 3 mics above. Any advice will be much appreciated!
