If the Luna is a solid state version of the Maudio Sputnik...it's a center terminated diaphragm. IMO, they did the right thing in not calling it modelled after this or that old mic...but, instead a new design trying to have some of the nice qualities of the C12 and some of the 47. I thought the sputnik was a nice mic...it's actually the only sub $3k (new manufacture) LDC that really did a great job on my voice. And the 87i always suited me well.

...so, if the Luna design is related, I get why you'd like it. It doesn't sound "like" an 87...but, it works on me-much like an 87i does.
