I think this has a lot more to do with the sound you are trying to get, and also the venues you find yourself in. The v3 will not add any coloration, and when running with transparent mics, you get what you hear. Personally, I like a little forgiveness in my tapes, and usually tape in crappy sounding bars. For me, the mini-me allows a tape to be pulled from a bar that is better than the actual sound coming out of the pa. I like this, while others may not. Now if I was going to be taping in a accoustically accurate, good sounding venue, with a kiler PA, the v3 is probably what I would run. BVut I would say, 99 percent of the venues we find ourse;ves in are not conducive to a transparent sound. I guess you might be somewhere where everything sounds good, but I most certainly am not. Thus, I chose the mme, but as always, YMMV.
Now I bet the dpa's sound killer with the v3, but lack the warmth I like. I think any mic would sound good with the v3, as well as the mme, it is just all about what type of sound you are trying to get, and where you are taping.
Just me 2 cents
