Exactly my impression too, I would describe my 414 B-ULS as 'unspectacular' and 'unhyped' sounding, very often perfect for vocals. Very easy to fit into a mix. I never liked the 414 for acoustic guitar but I guess that's an application where you normally DON'T want a 'natural' sound. Try to isolate a common acoustic guitar in a 'commercial' mix and compare that to what you would hear live in the room.
I also like the 414 B-ULS for compressed room sounds w/amps and drums.
