JR:

Do any of the mics you mentioned have frequency response curves similar 
to high articulation mics like the original Astatic D-104? or the 
vintage Heil HC-4/5 (see graph below).

I found that most "generic" mics have way too much low-end response with 
little top-end so they sound very muddy and not very articulate. Not the 
best choice for entry level and older rigs that do not offer TX-EQ.
