Mics and pres are parts of recording in which I rarely advice to spend less then reasonably.
Mic is supposed to serve quite long time and its impact to mix is much bigger than just listening and comparing single tracks.
200-300$ nowdays can buy tube mic and indeed mic much better than many more expensive mics on the market. In same time, with exception of Rode K2/NTK for limited applications, I still need to find mic below 1-1,5 k (new street price) to consider it good enough for long run.
If budget for whole studio is 2000$ than I agree, spending 200-300 sounds reasonable.
