You may not be able to find an RE20 (yet), but you can definitely find Chinese clones of SM57s, e609s, SM7s, Beta52a's, etc.
Dynamic mics - why so difficult to reproduce?

Maybe I need to ask a more specific question.
Sennheiser (and Chinese cloners) are clearly able to make microphones with similar housing to the MD409. What is preventing them from creating a capsule similar to the MD409? In various tests, while the e906 is closer, all the modern takes on it have a presence peak and sound/measure differently. They used to be pretty consistent, even when they launched the "Blackfire" range.
The same question could be asked about Beyerdynamic's M380, or Shure's SM5B.

Can you link to where that photo of their version of the 441 is? That link doesn’t go there.
