It's definitely very upfront sounding at times, really nice. I haven't used my c800g in 3 months so far.
As a mixing/mastering engineer I can tell you that there is a substantial difference between cheap and expensive mics in the correct recording space and that will definitely be heard in the final result.

And I'm saying this as someone who has a REDD mic, c800g, Beesneez 251, b67, b87, Sphere, Slate mic, Ehrlund mic, Milab Vip 50, almost bought the Soyuz etc. It's never enough, it's like a disease!
Do I want the NU24k? Yes.
