How well a particular kick mic works in any given situation is greatly dependant on the kick m, as well as the rest of the signal chain, yeah.
Also, the people buying and reviewing CADs are not the sort who always know what they're doing or using the best PA mixer (love it when I see reviews for good mic and they say it's poo having only used it through their Yorkville/Behringer); most pro engineers scoff at that brand. I'd give it a try, but I have other mics for kick that I am happy with.
If you ever do find that you want some more top end / attack / clarity to your kick try adding a mic on the beater side. Even a 57 will do for this; whatever is on hand. You'll need to flip the phase on it because it's facing the exact opposite direction of the internal (CAD) mic (a head is like a speaker; produces the same wave from the front and back, except 180 degrees out of phase).
