Alright,
So both of these condenser mics nuzzle in perfectly within my price range,
both have gotten excellent reviews for their worth and utility,
unfortunately, I'm in no position to get both.
Now I know the intelligent response to my question would be "Well, it depends man, certain mics sound good with certain people, find the shoe that fits, etc."
But I think I basically want someone to make this decision for me so I can move on with my life. (also, if you know of an even better mic in this price range, please, please, please, hit me on the head with it.)
I'm looking for a mic that will do justice to vocals and primarily acoustic guitar, giving a pure, unadulterated source. I'm really just looking for my "main" mic right now, I suppose.
The KSM has been described as a more "dull" sounding mic, which might make it usefull as a all-purpose mic,
while the Rode is described as having a more "airy" sound, which, would probably compliment the reverby, light, vocal styling I'm going for.
I found the KSM in stock online at guitar center (though not in-store)-

the Rode is in-store and in-stock, though is 30$ more expensive, (not a big deal though, quality overrules, I know some people look at mics as an investment)-

Decisions? Personal Experience with either or both?
