It really isn't about pro versus non, it's about what else is sonically going on. If a big concern is keeping other stuff out, you simply don't want a big condenser.
Case in point -- this Flatt & Scruggs TV performance. One RCA 77. Look at how far away Earl goes when it's time for Lester to sing. And when Earl eases back in to sing harmony, he stops playing. And I don't think it's because he can't sing and play at the same time.

Point being, if you've got a big Dread and your playing is as loud as or louder than your singing, you don't want a vocal mic that hears as much guitar as vocal, even if it's a great mic. Especially if you record sitting down, as I think most of us do, because that puts the guitar even closer to your face than it is when you're standing.
