Have you tried out a ribbon mic? I have an Avantone CR14. The big thing is that it rolls off the high end a lot more than either a condenser or dynamic mic. But the response of the ribbon mic is so smooth that it doesn't sound like you are losing a lot of top end. And if you do try to EQ it the smooth response makes it so that any EQ doesn't sound like extreme treatment. The CRF 14 with a good pop filter in front of it night reduce the sibilance quite a bit.
MXL has several ribbon mics below $150. There are other inexpensive ones like Nady, CAD, and a couple others.
