Best Microphone for Classical Flute

So I've entered the home recording world, and it is a lot to take in. I currently have a Zoom H4n, and it's nice, but I've been thinking about a better microphone so that I can get closer to the sound I want. As a classical musician, I see lots of stereo pencil setups in concerts but LDC mics for solo recording sessions. Can anybody point me in the right direction as far as SDC/LDC and brands? I'd like to get crisp, rolling texture, not cloudy jazz flute sound, and I wanna keep it under 300. Thanks in advance!
 
If you want "The Flute" then use something like the Audix ADX10 or Shure Beta 98.

If you want the flute in the space, it's a completely different story that has a whole lot to do with the space and how the flute is going to fit into that space in the context of the recording.
