Which LDC's under $200 are people using to record acoustic guitars and other acoustic instruments? Preferably in conjunction with a second mic. Also, preferably something that could also be used as a second option to record vocals (although that's not as important as a good acoustic guitar sound).
Any thoughts?
 
I was a part of a session where a BLUE Spark was used on acoustic guitar and it got the job done. I haven't heard it on vocals, but I think this is what people use it most for.

I own the Blue Spark. Love that mic. It has a "Focus" switch on the back which basically puts a high pass filter on it too so you can get some good sounds. I use it for vocals and acoustic guitar.
 
I've had an sE2200a for years that's always done well for acoustic guitars, and picked up an Avantone CK7 about a year ago which has become my "go to" acoustic mic. Although i never know the $ price of stuff as a UK resident, i think both these mics should fall in the around $200 price bracket.
