I like the presence of the D-5.

I started using this mic because of price and the fact that my 787a stopped working. It has surpassed expectations as I have set lists of quite diverse vocal styles.I have grown to love this under rated microphone.

Great bang for the buck overall.

And this is priced well below the 58 beta, which I’ve heard wildly diff opinions of.

I bought it because it seemed to have a little bit of SM58 voice, but with less proximity/boom, improved clarity, and better gain before feedback.

I got mine at B&H for $63 shipped, at that price it is a fantastic value.

AKG D5 is more versatile, it works with different vocals and can easily handle something heavy. On the other hand, if you mostly play soft and melodic, e835 would suit it better.
