Also you have not (but probably should) list what your equipment chain that this mic will plug into like mic pre, converters, interface, etc. involved ? And you need to be even more specific is the small ensemble situation for recording or performing ? That said ::: I would say yes definitely take your time Consider like sdelsolray mentioned that what you are actually talking about are different applications seems like ? #1 recording vocals #2 recording solo guitar #3 recording a small ensemble for which a "one mic does all" may not really be the best solution (especially considering the $5k budget you state) I am thinking at that budget range you can get an excellent LDC mic for your voice and good SDC for solo guitar ( or even eventually a pair of SDC's for guitar ) As I see it honestly I would at least be considering 1 LDC and 1 SDC to get started (with the idea of adding a second SDC later. Or go right to 1 LDC and pair of SDC's Also I would suggest that the notion that a tube mic power supply being one more box (while true ) is somehow an "issue" or problem is arguably more imagination of logistics than reality in the big picture. Especially considering that Tube mic's represent a significant and very important portion of the LDC market and could well be the best suited to your voice and needs. But that also does not discount or eliminate considering a great FET mic Now I also have what I would also consider "high baritone" lower tenor voice. So from personal experience I can say the mic's I have liked on my voice are (in no particular order) A Neumann 87 ai FET --- A Brauner Phantom V FET (which I own and is excellent ) Brauner Valvet Tube --- Perlman TM1 Tube----- Neumann 149 tube (which IMO is overpriced ) ---ADK Z Mod 67 Tube ---- ADK Z Mod 251 Tube ( which I chose for my specific voice over the ADK 67 and is now my go to Vocal mic) Honestly I am guessing any of these mics will do a great job for you. Because in an actual shootout at a professional recording studio of the my Brauner Phantom V, the ADK Z Mod 67, and ADK Z Mod 251... While I chose and ultimately purchased the 251,,,, these mics were all very very close over all, and it was only by a very subtle few percent, that I thought the 251 was over the other two. Here is a sample of the ADK 251 on vocal and a pair of AEA N 22 Ribbons on guitar (note this was done "performance style" the Rhythm guitar and vocal were recorded at the same time so there is some bleed) Here is the Brauner Phantom V ...This done "overdub style" recorded the guitar part first with two mics the Phantom V LDC and a single Schopes CMC6-MK4 SDC then the vocal was dubbed with the Phantom V

5k budget for a mic? Geez. I'm green with envy. Make sure you have a good preamp and compressor to go with it. The Edwina's are nice, but to me they are Beta 87C's with better marketing. Take all of that with a grain of salt, though, as there are thousands and thousands of recording guys who are smarter than me! P.s. There is a Lawson 47-style mic in the classifieds, last I checked, and that would be an excellent purchase!
