wich microphone? me-66 or me-67? I need it urgently Can't Post

I own a XL1 and the MA-100 adapter for xlr inputs. I need to work with professional actors; I', going to shoot a short film, and may be soon a movie as well I cannot spend looooooots of money. So my question is about these two Sennehiser mics: ME-66 and ME-67, which one of them is more likely to get a good sound/voice from the actors dialogs? I will shoot - mainly - close up and some "half figures". I will use two mics, the second one will be a wireless mic (may be a Sennehiser in the "evolution" category)
Is out there somebody that can give me an advice?
Thank you very much,
Al

read below links.... 66 is short shotgun ...67 is long shotgun ....
short shotguns work very good interiors and good outdoors but not so good in very small room (like bathroom) ......long shotguns work so-so to OK on interiors and excellent outdoors .....
i use a short shotgun (AT 4073) for inetriors and exteriors ..on those really WIDE angle exterior shots i use both wireless lavs and /or hidden mic and my shotgun ( mixed to separtate channels) .... i have NOT found the need to date to purchase a long shotgun ( perhaps in time i will)... but so far my projects have been documentary and moc-documentary .....
have dramatic project shooting in august but as of now not planning to purchase

Thank you very much DB.
Your notes are very useful to me. In fact I think I will purchase the ME-66 (and if I have a chance I will get the ME-67 sometimes later). The Sennheiser house told me that the ME-67 can get the actor's voice from a distance of 9 to 13 feets. So, I hope I can have the possibility to get both microphones, this way I hope I can shoot in different conditions and locations. But I will buy both mics just IF MONEY will allow me to do it. For now I could go for the ME-66, because I will work in interiors more than outdoors.
Thanks a lot for your precious replay! :)
