I don't have anywhere locally to hear the B1. But I am familiar with the AT3035. How do these mics compare to each other? Simlilarities? Differences?
 
The 3035 is a bit flattering, and is probably more of a vocal mic. The B1 is more on the neutral side, and could also be a little more versatile. They're both considered to be very good for the respective prices they go for.
 
Of the under $200 large condensers, I think these are the two best. The B1 is suited towards mic'ing instruments and amps. The AT3035 is suited towards vocals and amps.
 
i own both

and its been my finding that the At-3035 is alot brighter than the B1. This can be a good thing or bad depending on your application. Either one works pretty well for vocals. If you have the extra cash i would grab the 3035 since it has the pad and low cut filter and most of the time includes the shockmount.
 
I've been using a 3035 for the past few months, and I'm not terribly impressed with its performance on acoustic guitar. But I'm absolutely in love with it on guitar amps....it provides a really warm, full-bodied sound that I haven't been able to get with a 57.
