Actually given BLUE's reputation I suspect it's an excellent mic.
There are plenty of good versatile microphones. Think how many things a 
U47 has been successfully pointed at, or an RCA-77, or a Sennheiser 421, 
or an EV RE-20, or even an SM-57, or (insert your favorite small-diaphragm 
condenser). And all of those have particular jobs that they excel at.

But I don't for a second believe that this mic has any special
affinity with Digi hardware. This is pure marketing and packaging
for both companies.
