It's been said a gazillion times here about gear...different strokes for different folks. My first kik mic was a D112. Maybe mine is bad but it did not provide the natural attack I was looking. Bought a RE20 next, 421's, Beta 52 then a EV D868. I haven't bought a kik mic for 5 or 6 years.
Of them all, the 868 provides the attack and low end resonance that get's it done for me and my clients. I use the D112 for jazz, the Beta 52 for metal, sometimes the Re20 for rok but for 90% of my projects, it's the 868. And another gazillion times...YMMV.
