Does anyone know much about this mic?
Small dia. condensor, black body, interchangable capsules, I think. I would expect it to be somewhat comparable to an SM81, but has anyone here had any experience with them?

Yes... I use them on overheads all the time.... I love 'em!

Those things are pretty damn cool. I use 'em on drums a lot, I believe i've used one on a piano before and sometimes on choir (not a good idea but if you have to...). It's a little brighter than the 81. I like using the 81's on violin, and choir, flute, stuff like that.
