The Maiku K87 I tested had the least HF boost of all the K87 capsules I measured.
It seems nowadays they supply a 150 pF capacitor with the capsule (this was not the case when I bought the one I tested), to replace the original 220 pF in older U87 microphones.
(Although I have the impression that 150 pF is still a bit too much, the high-end is almost 'flat'.)
On the other side: the Mic-parts K87 had the highest amount of HF boost, pretty identical to the original Neumann U87 capsule.
