That makes sense. Especially where in some cases the "more" low end that an LDC has (if it does) is so far down it's irrelevant in most applications. I have a little SDC here rated @ 20-20 kHz for example which is rated 10 Hz lower than it's LDC counterpart.

To the OP, mics tend to have differences depending, that's for sure, but beware of "night and day" references which is a rarity for similarly constructed mics. Meaning, there can and will be differences that do matter depending on how the different mics are used but don't be surprised if you compare two mics in their nominal sweet spot and they sound way more alike than the descriptions you hear people talking about. No one here, just in general.
