Noobie here and all due respect:

After listening to all files and clearly it's obvious they are so close in nature that I know it's only going to be folks that work with the 87 day in and day out that can tell the difference, my feeling is that all you pros could make the Rode a usable piece of gear, and to be a fraction of the cost of the 87 it's a no-brainer.
I remember reading a artical years ago with George Martin & his engineer stating the fact that it's really not crucial what gear you use, if the musicians have talent then it will shine through and will get you on the dance floor, and of course they also mentioned you get 10 engineers in a mix room and you will have ten different mixes, most likely be no general consensus on any given mix.

question #1. this sibilance/mid scoop that someone has referred too?

can corrective EQ-ing, or de-essing be an option for either mic without being disappointed, if even needed

question#2.

I tried to read most all the posts, and Michael is their a MOD for the RODE NT1 original?, I have a matched pair and when my tax refund comes in I would really like to MOD both of them, and it still keeps them as a matched pair?

Thanks in advanced to all you talented pros for all you help.
