The KSM32 is a real versatile workhorse mic. I have two and use them regularly along U87s which belong to the studio I often work in.
They are neutral, work on pretty much every voice & other source (guitars, drum overheads, strings...) and give you a great starting point to shape it to the sound you need. For me it is quite a plus-point that they sound straight without pushed lows or highs because this is what makes them so flexible. And they are certainly not that 'boring' like a few of the typical SDC choices (schoeps come to my mind. they are great for many things, but nothing I would use if I was searching a little more attitude like a drum room mic)
I think the KSM is a better choice than a TLM103 with its upfront highs and more sibilance.
They don't have the larger than life sound like a U87 or have the different patterns which makes the Neumann even more versatile&desirable. But I wouldn't hesitate to use the KSM in a Session at the same spot when the U87 is not available.
Btw. the Sennheiseer 416 is a great mic for set recording or if you have to match set tone in ADR. But I think it would be a pretty bad choice as the only available mic in smallish vocal booth. If you use it indoors you really need a bigger room)
