I remember picking it out of a mic test for recording a spanish guitar (nylon strings) where I thought it sounded better then my usual suspects which are schoeps, AKG 421 or M149 neumann.

In general I think the 'higher quality' mics like a schoeps or B&K will tracnslate your source better then the ones you list. Milages vary but the 4051 is definately not a 'bad' mic.
