Yeah the NT1 is a very good mic, and well worth investing in, but read this review cos funnily enough the rode mics get mentioned for comparison it ends up with Paul barret favoring the 2200 over his neumann u87 in a session
i know its all personal preference but it's just to give you an idea of what a cracking little mic it is.

The mic he's reviewing is the old version which I have,
they have brought out a newer better/revised model of the same mic now with an (a) prefix = 2200a
