Blue Dragonfly vs. Blue Dragonfly Deluxe

[SeaOwl]

Sorry if this has been covered before. Does anyone here have experience with both versions of this microphone that could tell me how they stack up against each other? I was very impressed by the dragonfly as a vocal microphone when i demoed it against many other microphones including some very expensive ones, so my interest has been provoked by this microphone. I also thought the blueberry sounded kind of awful, though that's neither here nor there.

Anyway, does anyone have any opinions as to whether the deluxe is worth the extra $$'s? I know there are some highly esteemed mics at that price point such as the brauner phantom c and the soundelux u195. can the dragonfly dlx hang with those?

Opinions welcomed,
D

The DF Deluxe has what is supposedly a better capsule, but the basic sound is similar.

I don't own a Deluxe, but I have a trusted source who seems to think his is the bees knees. And he's got a lot of pretty nice mics, so I'm inclined to listen to the guy when he raves about something.

I agree the Blueberry sounds kinda' nasty to me, also.
