Which AKG 414 should I buy?

[Note, I also posted this on the ProAudio forum; if against the rules please delete this one.]

(Note: I'll only consider new mics.)
C 414B-XLS is flatter - which I want.
C 414B-SLII has a rise for vocals.
Either can be bought in a matched stereo pair.

I thought I had decided on the XLS matched pair, for $1,999 per four online sources.

good setup for starters

i want to major in recording arts in college, but have not started the program yet, i'm still undeclared. however i'm attempting to start recording now and creating a portfolio for when i transfer to a trade school. for someone who has little experience but intends to follow this as a career path, what would you suggest as good gear to start with?
