Diverse Mics

What would be a good choice for a second mic of similar class with a noticably different sound. I dont have singers to test with and I dont sing myself, but I'd like to have variety on hand if the need comes."

Shure SM7B (dynamic), Rode NTK (tube mic), Oktava MK319 (dark condenser especially flattering on some female and backing vocals)

A MC-319 has a dark color. An AT-4047 has a tranny in it and has some color as well. The suggestion for an SM-7 or any high quality dynamic like an RE-20 or an RE27 or a Senheiser are dandies too.
