The Rode has a warm, full tube sound, the C1 has a very crisp edgy sound (it gets compared to the Neumann U87 a lot, believe it or not). I program all my drums, the only thing we record live is vox and acoustic guitar, so they definitely serve the purpose. I did have the AKG C414 but sold it always sounded brittle to me - I think it's way overrated for the price.
