I assume you mean the AKG 414 XLII - the 214 is cardioid only and has only the one version.
I love the AKG 414's and use them a ton for recording, but there are a bunch if versions of them and the XLII is not my favorite. The newer 414's like the XLII have an overly hyped high end response which I'm not a fan of.
My favorite version of the mic is the 414BULS, which you can find used on eBay for $500-$600. It's much warmer and to me more natural sounding than the newer models, and I love it. I have a pair and use them constantly.
