I like the '57, too. (Also great for chunky/strummed acoustic rhythm steel string guitars, too.)

But if you got the sound you wanted with your 414, you're good to go. You can always experiment with a 57 later. (If you don't like it, do make sure it's not one that someone's kept in their hip pocket for the last 7 years or let his kid play with in the sandbox. People do the damnedest things with 57s... the trade shows with Shure reps banging nails into 2x4's with a 57 as a hammer are famous.)
