In-ear systems-BOOYAH!!!!!

So who likes them and who knows about them?

One of my band's soundmen has an i.e. system (Shure PSM 400), and after a while I bought my own earphones, because his stock ones were basic Shure E1's. I got M-Audio IE-40's, and last night at a gig, it was the most tonally orgasmic sound ever. Combining the clarity of those with the rumble from the PA, it was insane!! I might be done with bringing cabs to shows, unless I absolutely have to (like tonight...ugh).

But, my question is what receiver's and transmitters do all of you i.e.'ers prefer? I was thinking of getting the same Shure system like our soundman's, since it sounded great. The prices aren't the cheapest and yet I've seen Carvin's system for $250. Carvin supposedly has a great reputation for pro audio, so should I go with them?

Oh, and I got a big fat discount on my earpieces (not going to say how much), so I don't want to thin my wallet out TOO much.

Thanks, guys!

P.S.-does anyone recommend a Buttkicker, or is that just for drummers? If we can use them, then how do they hook up?

I use Shure PSM700s with the E5 earbuds. I stopped bringing amps to shows - just wasn't needed, and my sound engineer REALLY appreciates the added clarity.
