I had no idea you couldn't use other mics with the Sennheiser. I was happy with the one that came with the system. Then again, I'm more of a video guy rather than an audio guy...

I agree with Mike that you want to avoid VHF, BTW.

Well, I just checked and the mini jack lengths are the same, unlike what someone had told me. But, Sony lavs don't work the the Seny and the Seny lavs don't work in the Sony. It may be that they are wired the opposite. Just know that a couple of times I grabbed a Sony to use in the Seny and I thought the unit was no good. It was just the mic though. I do like the Sony lavs better though. Just my opinion, which is not worth much.

I do have the cube for my Seny too and I do use it with a shotgun.
