c3000 is as terrible as c1000 is... it lacks body it is agressive and sounds really cheap

for much less you can get Oktava 319, that isn't the greatest mic in the world, but it isn't as nasty as china stuff and akg electrets.

If you're lucky, you can get C414 for $400-500 and while it is (againg) not the best mic in the world it is a good tool.

IMO Cx000 series are overpriced and very thin/agressive sounding series. They were "good" for project studios before the chinese wall of mics hit the shops, but now you can get similar performance for much less $. But still it isn't worth.
