Need mic to complement AKG414TLII

[timspong]

I have a protools HD3/192 rig and I am using an API 3214 as my main preamp. I have a AKG 414TLII for vocal duties.
I am looking at getting another "all purpose" mic to complement the TLII.

Right now I am looking at either a Royer or a Soundelux. Anyone got any opinions on either (including model pref). Or for that matter, any other mic.

Thanks

i dont know if getting a ribbon mic would be a great "all-purpose" mic, although Royer makes some fantastic ribbons.
You might want to check out a Neumann tlm-103.
Ive also heard great reviews of the soundelux u195 which lists around $1300

both great mics that would compliment the bright 414.
