Blue Bluebird vs RODE NT1

Forums

Here's my dilemma...

I run a home based studio and I currently have access to two AT 4040 mic's. They're decent mics that work well for a lot of the stereo pairing that I use them for. However, they aren't mine (they belong to a drummer friend) and could be picked up and gone at anytime. So I'd be left without any large diaphragm mic's if they were gone.

The Robbie Mic Pre = Underrated

Forums

I just bought the Blue Robbie mic preamp. I feel like this thing gets no love because it has a hipster-robot-head design. It is nothing but massive headroom, highly detailed, and the bottom end is the best part. The lows are very real, full, and slightly compressed sounding. This thing rocks...but I'll be damned if I can find 3 reviews on Google for it.

Blue Baby Bottle or Studio Projects T3?

I can't decide on one or the other. I can get them for the same price. It will be used mostly for vocals. It will be a backup mic for acoustic guitar too.

I have a groove tubes brick preamps and m-audio octane.

I really can't decide on which would be a better sounding mic(setting my vocal style beside)

Give me your opinions

AKG C414 II vs BLUE BLUEBERRY

I am looking for a mic that will work really good on male pop/soul vocals and also be versatile enough to use on acoustic guitars and other miscellaneous instruments that will get a great sound for around $1000. Right now I am trying to decide between the AKG C414 II and the BLUE BLUEBERRY. Which of those two do you think would work best or if you have another recommendation let me know.

Blue Mics

where do you guys think these stand up to the Neumanns, Gefells, AKG, AT's and all the other mics that get spoken to around here. My singer recorded his old album using a Dragonfly and it sounded pretty sweet. That, also coupled with the fact that Focusrite sells that deal with the Trackmaster along with the Baby Bottle for under $800, or something?

Blue Baby Bottle

I have a buddy who has recommended a number of pro audio products to me, including the UA 2-610 pre, which I purchased and absolutely love. I'm in the market for a studio condernser microphone, budget <$1000, for a variety of applications, primarily acoustic guitar and male vocals. He has recommended I look at the Blue Baby Bottle as a versatile condenser mic.
