definately not. The 149 is an excellent mic imho. But I prefer a good 47.

Jon mentioned something very important. a mic that's perfect for one singer or on one instrument might completely suck on another. And it has little or nothing to do with what the mic costs. I've had excellent results recording a voice with a sm57. That same song and voice completely sucked with a 47 for example.
