DPA 4011 vs Neumann TLM 102 (small diaphragm vs large diaphragm)

I believed small one is better for resolution.
but, large is good enough!
Am I wrong?

I don't think the DPA 4011 can be beat!

If my choice is between those two, I would choose the DPA. I find the 102 much too bright.

I liked the way the TLM rounded the transients.
