I love the Kiwi very much! It is on the same level as the U87i, but I prefer the Kiwi. Each one tested before it leaves the plant, quality is so awesome, and I love the big round, open sound it gives you.

Check out this review of it. http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/Jun03/articles/bluekiwi.asp?session=cc8587982a7d2951dc636e6a941fc6ae

personaly i don't compare it to the u87.. i like the kiwi over the u87.. trully i put the blueberry on the same level or closer to the u87.. the kiwi is an awesome mic. i've been thinking of getting one or a bottle.
