well, you are talking about some of the best mics ever made here in my opinion.
U47: great mic. haven't used a tube one enough to know it that well. used the FET one a bunch and like it a lot. only used the tube 47 3 or 4 times and its been a while.......
U67: my favorite mic. wonderful for so many reasons.
classy and versatile.
U87: this mic is what i consider good, but not great. rarely wrong for anything but rarely makes you go wow either. versatile, but never spectacular.
KM 84: amazing mic. can record anything quite well with it.
i recently acquired 2 KM 86's, which are very similar.
cant go wrong with a pair of KM 84's or 86's.
AKG 451: the old EB 451's with CK 1 capsules are really great mics that are a bit on the brighter side. not harsh. great for cymbals, strings, ac gtrs, piano.
the new 451's i have used are not the same. they are harsh and cheap sounding.
the mics you are talking about are some of my and many others favorites of all time. i own and regularly use the U67, 451 EB and KM 86.
these are all great tools.
