I totally know where you're coming from, and I totally agree. It doesn't matter. Buuuuut... sometimes when I work with people that work in different programs with different standards, things take a bit longer to get going than they do when we're all on the same page.
Sometimes (but definitely not always) it's easier said than done.

The rest is debatable in order of importance: (quasi)room treatment, A/D, micpre, dynamics, etc
Ive been hearing good things about the Avantone tube mic...399
I was hot on my Karma K55 modded out (maybe 500 tops) til I got me U87 back from the shop. One of my clients picked that K55 over a soundelux. |
As much as I agree with garbage in = garbage out, there are a lot of things to be covered in this $1000 suggested budget that don't afford many options. And for the most part... none of them are going to be outstanding options, but they'll be options that work and get the show on the road. Upgrading as a lot easier to do once you have a stable foundation... so I don't think that dropping almost half the budget on a mic that is marginally better than ones half it's price is necessarily a path to follow when an entire system has to be bought as well. Cables, pop filter, stands, headphones, etc.. all eat up a budget too, and it's easy to overlook in early plans.
