A hole in the market?

well, Ive just spent the evening hunting, but to little avail... I need to bolster my lean mic collection with a figure of 8 mic of some sorts for acc. guitar.

Unfortunately, due to very tight budget consraints Ive only got at the most £800 to spend

There seems to be a few options in the 'upto £400' category, and then the interesting ones seem to lie in the £1200+ range, with very little inbetween.

Trying to put royers, the R84 and assorted multi-patterners out of mind, all I can find is. the AT 4050, 414 or the Beyer M130.

I'd really like to get something a little better than the more 'entry level' options, but just cant find that extra cash. (Im down to eating alternate days as it is... )

Im not a huge 414(ULS) fan - I did some listening when I got my TLM103. Ive used the 4050 quite a bit before, and liked it, but that was before i really had any clue what I was doing.

Anyone know of a little-heard-of gem that may be in the budget please? Or maybe someone wants to sell me something s/h? Otherwise, Im going to have sell another limb...

Many many thanks in advance,
best wishes,
Tom
