And yet... I strongly suspect there have been as many screaming, spitting rock vocals recorded on U87s as on SM7Bs. And some of them (the songs containing the vocals, though it's true of the mics also...) have sounded pretty damn good and sold very very well. So it's dangerous to generalize.
It's also wildly off topic, as you are describing someone's comparison of the U87 to a the Shure mic the OP already has, rather than to a U89i.
