Tailored yes...agreed...I tend to like a bump in the upper region.. ...adds a little sparkle and it helps to balance out those bassy rooms..uber linear mics tend to sound flat to me especially at a distance.....up close with a well mixed room their great.  But how often does that happen in what we do...  Most rooms sound like ass because they weren't designed for recording...just big bass traps and I hate rolling off...can't put back what isn't there...
