I thought the AKG sounded clearer/cleaner compared to the NT1. I would go with the AKG myself.

I have an NT1 that I use primarily for vocals and I usually cut some of the lows because it sounds too thick or maybe a little muddy with my voice. After listening to your take, it sounds very similar, so maybe it's not so much my voice, but the NT1.

Fwiw - I listened closely to both of those clips in a/b fashion- I also preferred the P420 clip. Smoother and more open to my ears.

BTW Rich - you have a nice voice.
