I used to have a V67, but some screamer I recorded blew out the diaphragm. Note to self: "No screamers on LDC's."
I have the ECM's but they pick up everything, not always desireable if you're looking for stereo imaging.
I use my pair of 603's in x-y for any acoustic guitar recording. Those tracks rock!
I bought the pair a couple of years ago from www.shreveaudio.com for well under $200

Yes ... as he says, the ECM8000 is an omni mic. If you used it in X-Y, you wouldn't get a stereo recording (or not much of one), you'd just get two tracks of virtually the same thing.
If you were to use that mic for stereo recording, you'd want to use a spaced omni arrangement, perhaps with a baffle between them. The problem with this approach, at least on a guitar, is that there's some tendency to get odd phase cancellations. At a particular position and with some distance, you might get something good though. Of course, with distance (and an omni), you're really going to pick up a lot of room sound, which is fine if your room sounds "good" (or at least sounds like what you're going for), and not so great if it doesn't (as another poster mentions above).

You might consider a JoeMeek JM27... pretty decent SDC for the price.

Well I ended up buying a pair of NT-5's off ebay 
Any tips for stereo miking? i've sort of got the basic gist of it (going to go record some guitar this afternoon and see how that goes), but i'd be interested to hear some tips from the pros!

How about the V6?
I have heard (and read) some good things about the MXL-V6. I don't have any direct experience with one but may be some here can cast some additional light on this mic?
I have a pair of 603s and they are do a decent job, as others have posted.
