I've owned the cactus and the kiwi and i have to say that they are some of the nicest sounding mics out there and most certainly the best in that price range. where most people spending in that range reach for a U87 your cash would be far better spend on a cactus. i've performed A/B test recording with those two and each time the cactus was a much better sounding mic
