Default MKH416 vs NTG3

I have used a Sennheiser MKH416 for over 20 years for VO. (I know it's a
boom mic/shotgun.) It is marvelous for the application. On a friend's
recommendation, I bought a (used) Rode NTG-3. Between the two, in an A-B
comparison using the same mic, preamp, monitors, etc., the Rode sounds
darker. Who can I send the mic to for comparison? There's probably
nothing wrong with it. The guy who sold it to me is a straight shooter,
but I wonder if he sold it because he didn't like the (dark) sound of it.
