Note that Neumann mics range in price in the US from $700 - 8,000, so they are not all created equal. I don't know if one will make your voice sound better than another.
My friend owns a pro studio and he has a Neumann mic but actually prefers the Audio Technica AT 4040. We recorded through both during the making of a recent CD and they both sound fine except the AT is slightly brighter.
I think once you get to a certain threshold of large diameter condenser mics, most of the differences boil down to the EQ curves, which can be fine tuned after the fact with an EQ plugin. I use a couple of Chinese mics in my home studio and I doubt that an $8,000 mic would make me sound any better.
