This guy doesn't care about investments. He just wants to know if he's wasting his 20gs on a microphone. Personally, I don't think a vintage elam is worth it. I sang through several and they were great, but tempermental and and only one of them really was up to spec and sounded fantastic. I can afford a vintage elam and purchased a Korby. You couldn't rip the Korby from my dead hands. However, if you're in a studio where you need "name" value; and that will get you business. Then of course that changes things. My two cents...
