Should I even bother investing in higher end mics...

... if I don't have a proper, acoustically treated room?

I'm doing all of my recording/mixing in my basement right now. It's a big open family room type space with furniture, a TV, exercise equipment, carpet, crusty white stuff ceiling, etc, etc. I can snap a pic if someone's willing to help me rearrange.

But back to my original question - I'm thinking high end mics might not be such a good idea just now, since I'll just be emphasizing my room's flaws? That's what I've read anyhow, but it always helps to hear from those who know. Thanks!
