I'm selling my RODE NT-USB, and I'd like to replace it with a proper XLR mic to go with my new audio interface. I was thinking along the lines of the RODE NT1 or the RODE NT2-a (probably out of those two I'd go for the RODE NT1). However, would it be better to get some other mic for that price range - would a dynamic mic like the Sure SM7B be better for my untreated room, although I'd also like to be able to use that same mic in the future as a drum overhead (and obviously I wouldn't be able to do that with a dynamic mic). But of course, if a dynamic mic would be far better as a vocal mic, I might have to go for that. Or are there any other mics that I should really consider?

Lol....so... About the impedence knob does it do anything audible / useful?

It is very subtle but yes I can hear the difference. Out of the obvious gain differences, the higher you go, the HF get thighter and on lower impedances , you get a bit more bass and hf.
Also there is a slight change in dynamics.
