Recently a music sales person told me the following about microphones.

You don't put a screaming, saliva spitting rock vocalist in front of a U87. It will pick up all the different sounds coming in out of the singers mouth, not just the actual tones. Neither do you put a very soft singer in front of the SM7B because it takes loud volume to drive it.

If this is true or not I can't say because I have no first hand experience on this yet.

But many people say you have to get the right tool for the right job. It does sound very logical.
