I just posted some more in the YS post.
I ran small diameter Neumanns for about 3 1/2 years, and do really like their sound, and am very familiar with it. To me, the milabs if they were to be compared, sound most like SD neumanns, much moreso than they do schoeps (not really at all), AKGs (ran those for a couple years as well), or DPAs. Somewhat like the AKGs and DPAs, but not really.
The Milabs sound a lot like the neumanns in the mids and highs -- very smooth enjoyable mids, silky highs with no distortion, but with high end emphasis. On the lows, I find the milabs to be both fuller and much tauter than the neumanns. I find the neumanns to be just a tad loose in the lows. The milabs are the opposite -- very taut, perhaps verging on too taut depending on your tastes.
I've got a few things up on the Archive you could listen to, including a STS9 show at the Boulder theater (small theater) where they brought in their own, very nice PA system, so that show is a good one for taking a listen. Matt H has a bunch of milab shows up on the Archive. Scott schneider has a TLG show up there that we both taped (same stand, fob) where he had problems the first few minutes, and patched with my source. Do a search on "schneider milab" on the Archive and you'll find it. It's only a couple minutes of my milab source, but it might be good for a milab>grace vs DPA>grace comparison.
With the midi-classic.com site Matt H posted in the retail section, I'd guess you might be able to pick up a pair of Milab VM44-links for under $1500, which is a steal IMO.
Oh BTW, they are available in matched pairs, but the matching charge is about $300-400 so I skipped it. My pair is very well matched even without official matching.
