Fet47 is handy as it also works great on bass, kick, loud sources, everything. I’ve used it during writing sessions as a floating vocal mic, easy to quickly move around. But in a proper session I wouldn’t choose it over your M49 or U47 tube. With your mic locker I’d be looking at nice ribbons for alternatives, AEA KU4 and AEA R44. Even Coles 4038. The older U87 can be nice on vocals with the right chain and right treatment, I don’t like the modern ai version though.
