I've never been in the same room with an N8 so I can't say I've compared them! I'm confident either of those mics would be great on either of those sources, although for mandolin I'd probably prefer a good-quality condenser mic with a reasonably flat response. Schoeps, ideally, or something like a TLM170. But either of those AEA mics would undoubtedly get the job done very nicely too.
