High End Mics Options

[elipio]

Heya, I've noticed some discussions on mics but I'd like to ask the users of high end mics about their impressions.
I will be using it mainly to record vocals.
The mics I'm considering are:

U 87- classic, I know it's sound but maybe a bit outdated now?

Manley black (the cheaper version of Gold)- heard good reports but won't have the chance to test it... so it would be a bit risky?

DPA 4041, supposed to be stunning... will try it out...

VM 1, colours the higher frequencies but I like it...


If anyone has any thoughts on the subject...

Thanks

Pete

U 47 is another example

Like the U87, it's not the fashion effect, it's the thing they do (or not do to a voice that counts), if the singer is great with a sm57 and crap with a U87, why change? (maybe a bit extreme as an example

Now there's good stuff around Like Microtech Gefell (the real Neuman), Blue (Bottle), Royer… to name a few more known (and there are small manufacturers making jewels still). Some chinese are really good too.

Now I've got a mic news NAMM related to write…
