Mic Shootout: Electrovoice RE20 vs Golden Age R2

Recorded direct into a Scarlett Focusrite 18i8 gen 3 and through to Ableton Live.
No further processing other than gain matching the two recordings. In terms of gain, the RE20 needs a shade more than the R2, but not much more and definitely not maxed out on the audio interface.
Let me know in the comments which you think is which and which you prefer!
Apologies that my camera was having a wobble with the auto (un-)focus.....
