Of posts I've seen on the SP CS5 the people that do have one seem to speak highly of it for its sound and versatility, but in general it doesn't seem to be a very popular one that many recommend. Is it a sleeper or people just shy away since it doesn't garner the brand recognition like bigger names.

I'm looking at a more budget friendly alternative to the C414 or AT4050 for a multi-pattern mic and of comments I've read the CS5 seems to come close for less money.
