Rode NT 1000 On Acoustic?

[Vikki]

Just mic shopping today and was after a AT 4040 but as usual out of stock, but the salesman was showing me a Rode NT 1000 and it looked quite a solid built mic. How do these perform eg acoustic guitar, vocals?
The salesman also had the SE Electronics range but said they had a bit of trouble with some in that range as the capsules had fallen apart.

I think they're a little less colored than the AT. I have a 4033 which is very colored, and I have been told most AT LDCs have a similar sound. The NT1000 is more open on top and has a drier bottom end.
