I have one. It's never done bad on vocals. Sometimes great, sometimes just okay/good, but it's always in the ballpark. I just recorded my vocalist on a U87 tonight and I thought the rough tracks we did on my U195 sounded better. If you want to move up in price you might think about the Pearlman $1.5K tube mic. I guy did some samples over on Gearslutz.com of a lot of different mics and that one was right up there with the $10k Brauner Klaus Heynes modded mic. It was only on one vocal in one specific situation but it sounded insanely good. I'm thinking about picking one up sometime in the future.
