One nice aspect of dynamic mics like the SM58 that can be an advantage over more sensitive condenser mics like the NT-1 is that the NT-1 will be much more sensitive to noise from outside its cardiod than the Shure will be. This is often cited as a drawback of the Shure but it can actually be a strong advantage if you have, say, a bad sounding room or external noise (like I do). We don't all have nice soundproofed audio spaces to record in.
Additionally, a condenser mic like the NT-1, with its wider dynamic range, may require more vocal processing later due to picking up a lot more sibilance and so on. Though this is also variable based on who you're recording.
