I think the room and treatment, and mic technique is more important.

If you are at the point where you think a mic
pre solves your problem, you really need to step back and re-evaluate your knowledge of recording IMO. I think mic pres are a big deal but they are much farther down the chain that the mic, room, room treatment, mic technique, converters, and of course playing ability. If, after you've done what you think is best at all of those levels and want to experiment, then by all means - try some new pres. Just don't go into this thinking that a mic pre - no matter how much it costs - is going to solve everything.
