I use the Pacifca side by side to real neves every day. The pacifica is a better match to ribbons than the neve is, both 121 and 4038. Neve makes ribbons a bit too dark. Especially to tape. You have to do some radical eqing to make a 4038 > Neve > tape have some sparkle. Though some may disagree, ribbons tend to want 1500 ohms or higher which the GR or neve can't do though I'm sure it will work fine.
