stereo to mono?

Just wondering if there is any reason to record in stereo if I'm then combining track with other mics and mixing down to mono.

I'm recording acoustic jazz bass with 2-3 mics and then mixing into a mono channel to use pan and use in a mix. Is there any difference in fullness of sound to mix stereo into mono vs just combining a few mono mic tracks?

Thanks!

Which Pre to compliment a Great River ME-1NV (Pacifica vs Daking)?

Hi All!

I'm looking for a pre that's not quite as dark as the Great River with a little more high-end . Something that will give a nice presence to my vocals that has a vibe and is not too sterile/clean.

Which would compliment my Great River ME-1NV...Pacifica or Daking Pre/EQ...or something else?

My mics are Soundelux 251c and SM7. My vox is male rock/pop.
