Some people prefer this cause it makes the sound brighter and sometimes lessens the need for EQ but I prefer a mic that doesn't boost any specific frequencies too much.
Dynamic mics are great in that they can be left setup with no problems. Condenser mics are sensitive to moisture and it isn't a good idea to leave them setup. If you go with a dynamic mic I too would prefer the Audix i5. It's frequency plot graph looks overall better to me. If you are hearing a change when flipping the switch on your mic than it's probably working fine. I looked at the graph for your mic and it looks nicely flat when set to supercardioid. Have you ever recorded vocals or other things through it. If so what were the results?
One more thing... you checked to make sure the high and low pass filter switches are off right?
