The R-121 is cool on acoustic guitar if you like some "meat" to the tone, if you're looking for a brighter "modern" acoustic sound you'd want to use a condensor mic like a 451 or C42. Though, for vocals I'd have to give the edge to the AEA mics. The 121 sounds a bit "closed" to me even when using the back of it, but a lot of people do use them for vocals and like the results. YMMV. The best thing to do is try them both and see which is more useful for you.

All you need to make a record is a mic, some tape and maybe some bad reverb...
