whats the best all around bang for your buck vocal mic between $400-$600? Definitely no more than $600, but less than $400 too if there is anything worthwhile.

See the Microphone FAQ. There is an excellent comparison of mics/price/use.

Gosh, there are plenty of decent vocal mics in the $400 to $600 range. As you probably know, vocal mics are only half of the equation - the singer is the other half. Singers and mics will match up or they won't, even with very expensive mics.
Here's some thoughts on all arounders:
CAD VSM
ADK TC
SP T3
AKG 414 UBLS or TLII (used)
Some of the newer SE mics (haven't heard them, but getting good reviews)
There are many more.

I would personally go for a SM7, or possibly an EV RE-20. But this is obviously a subjective question.

SM7 $300ish
EV RE-15 $100 or less used
MXL V69ME- $300ish- colored, darker non hyped upper mids, prefer it to T3 (sold mine)
ADK TL- $500ish- transparent, non hyped AKG type of sound but not quite as bright
These work well for me for cheap.

audio technica 4050 or a 4047 depending on taste.

If you haven't check out this Sweet Puppy, I would recommend doing so. It is the best sounding vocal mic out there I think and its got character. Seriously, the range this mic has is astounding and the quality is just insane.

I'd agree on the AT4047. I don't have enough AT4050 experience to give it a recommendation.
