Hi J-D
Late to the conversation, but I'm going back to your initial question.

The mics I own/use are higher quality than most systems I run them through…and I like it that way. I certainly choose them to record into my Zoom - as well as any other recording gear I'm recording with.

A version of your question might be "…do my $1000 mics sound better when recorded into my Zoom recorders than using 50 mics?" The answer is "…sure…always."

How the room you record in is treated will almost certainly affect the final recording more than a lot of other things…including mics. In fact better mics pick up unwanted room noise with more detail.
