Re: Choices for a single mic.....
I don't have experience with the 2020 or 4033, but I own two AT 4050s and these have served me well for many years in a variety of studio and live settings. The 4050 is closer in price to the Neumann you are considering. I've played live in a duo setting with that Neumann and it was wonderful as well. The advantage of the 4050 is its switchable polar pattern which gives it a lot of flexibility for different applications. One of my 4050s is now on semi-permanent loan to my son who just used it in a small venue live setting for capturing vocals and guitar. It worked perfectly in a somewhat challenging live sound situation.
