Radial Pro RMP reamp box review. Big reamps for little buck?

Ok, this unit is quite popular and there are tons of reviews out there, but as always: I'm not just reviewing from my point of view, i'm delivering some proof to what i say. My big question on this one is: how big the difference between original guitar player and a re-amp with this unit would be?

Shure SM57 vs Fame MS 57: Do you really have to pay more?

Ok, they say that you get what you pay for and that a cheap copy can never beat the original and blah blah blah. But through years of recording i stumbled upon lots of exceptions to this statement. I heard some cheap condenser mics beat the hell out of some neumanns, heard some cheap preamps to sound on same level with expensive ones, cheap guitars that sounded better than their 2000 € equivalents and so on. Since i am using some Shure SM57s for recording drums, guitars and sometimes even vocals i was always wondering if those 30 $ copies can be nearly as good as the original. Every time i visited the Musicstore in Cologne i looked at the Fame MS 57 and asked myself if they could be any good? I heard different opinions ranging from "peace of sh*t" to "even better than the original", so one day i just decided to pick one up just to solve these questions once and for all.
