Wagner U47w sounds best to my ears. Lots of detailed body and intimate warmth. I wouldn't go for a U47 sound for a female like this though.
Neumann U87 sounds OK and way better as one would think if you read the U87 comments on GS.
Lauten Clarion sounds too brassy and holed for my taste especially when you have to make it sit into the mix. The U47 will shine even more when placed into the mix. That's the big advantage of the Neumann sound. Those mics take EQ like no other mics.
Listen to the different sibilants! The Lauten dies there whereas the Wagner shines.
The Nobel Prize goes to the Wagner. Now please send me over that damn Wagner! You don't deserve it Lugo!
