Not sure what the difference is but I have the R80, it’s cool to blend with a dynamic for a little body.

I don't have a R40 but, I have the MXL R144 ribbon mic and I really have no complaints. I bought it to see what ribbons are all about and it sounds fine.

I also have the MXL Revelation tube condenser mic... the power supply has a hum that does not affect the recording... other than that, it also sounds fine.
