I lead worship at a church with a whole bunch of different mics at our disposal, including Shure SM58s, Audix OM2s, and these E835s. I used to live and die by the SM58, until I tried the E835. I've sound tested all of them, and the E835 is the winner for me. It is much clearer and richer in sound, especially compared to the SM58. The SM58 is a bit dull, while the E835 really brightens your voice. Granted, I have a naturally lower timbre (baritone) in my voice, but even the tenors, altos and sopranos prefer the E835s (and some the OM2s) to the SM58.
