Well . . . my leaning would be towards the Neumann.
Having said that, the choice you make depends on the match between mike and instrument.
This is a short sample of a jazz quintet, featuring sax, I recorded recently:

The mike on the sax?
A Behringer C2

how did you get such a good sax sound with the c-2? like what preamp did you use, and what software? did you eq it? reverb? no-fx? anything? I record my school band and I have 2 c-2s and would like to know as much as possible!
gecko,
Very nice. I really like that groove, and the sax sound is great.
Here's something completely different - way out in left field, but I still like it after 7 years. We recorded this sax in an old warehouse with concrete walls... used a Shure SM-58 in the bell and an LDC (likely an AT, but I can't remember exactly what we used) - the LDC was about 6-7' away from the player and caught all these crazy reflections from the concrete warehouse. I think we messed with a tap delay on top of that - the sax guy was going for a really airy, over-the-top thing: http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7516374
gecko zzed, do you use logic for software to record? That's what i'm on .,.. logic express 8
