I have a pair of NT2's (about 12 years old), that I use for recording
large ensembles. I tried the NT1's for the same application and the
NT2's were considerably better. I don't know if the products today
are similar. The NT2's have also been pretty durable... one fell from
a 14' mic stand (wind) and broke into 3 pieces - I snapped it back
together and it continues to work perfectly.

The only thing I have ever really like the NT1 on is an acoustic
guitar, and that I love. ( a foot out and pointing at the 12th) Its a
cheap attitude mic and if an in your face acoustic dred sound is what
you're after its a good choice. IMHO
