OK - this will probably turn into a flame war, but please try and resist if you're tempted!
I have a SP B1 which I'm perfectly happy with when it comes to recording guitar or piano, but doesn't suit my voice as it accentuates the "crispiness" around 6-8k. I'm using a VTB-1 with the mic. I'm looking for a second mic, and WOULD choose a B1 if I liked it on my voice to give me a pair, but I'd much rather get something I can use on my voice even if it doesn't mean a perfect pair when recording guitar etc...
The AT4040 has been recommended relentlessly, but I'm worried about the frequency graphs of the two mics. Is the frequency graph representative of the sound I'll be getting? They both have boosts in the same areas, does that mean the crispiness I get will still be present in the AT4040?
The frequency graphs can be found below:

Thanks for any help
