the sm7b is a better mic for the non treated room you will be recording in. the c3000b is, to my ears, pretty harsh and boring. it was my first "good" LDC before i ever found GS. since then i have moved onto to better mics for less money and way better mics for the same money. the c3000b is not a bad mic, but for the money is blown away by other mics in its price range, LDC-wise, the at4040, v69, c3, and others.
btw, the c3000 is a condenser and will need phantom power. if you don't have a preamp with that, then you will need an outboard pre.
