If you had to choose one...

[Lazloweed]

If you were looking for a clear but smooth sound and had to choose one mic to record acoustic guitar and vocals (one track at a time--not simultanerously) and you were using an ART tube preamp and an FMR RNC compressor, which mic would you pick at or around the following price points:

$1000
$300
$200
$100

Thanks
