Default Large capsule condenser

I have a Rode K2 tube-type microphone that works well and sounds great. I'd
characterize its sound as full and warm. I want another large-capsule mic
(probably not a tube-type) that also sounds great but significantly
different from the K2 (probably brighter). Some candidates a

Audix SCX-25
Neumann TLM 103
Studio Projects C1
Rode NT1-A
Rode NT1000
Note: not the Rode NT2-A or NT2000 since they use the same capsule as the
K2, and I'm looking for something different.

I'd welcome hearing opinions about these and recommendations for other mics.
Thanks.

The C1 sounds pretty darn bright to me. I like the TLM103 much better
though. Haven't heard the others.

Thanks to all respondants! I've picked up a new NT1000 on eBay for $218.
Besides liking the price, I also like that this Rode fits into the same
shock mount as my K2 -- making it that much easier to swap mics when
auditioning a singer. --Vland
