If you could only have one mic (or a matched pair I suppose) PURELY for recording acoustic guitars, what would it be and why?

In all seriousness, I could give you a list of mics I like on acoustic.
Earthworks SR-71's-detailed and accurate In a stereo pair, great imaging.
Neumann KM-184's- Again, a lot of detail and air. On some sources, too much top end.
Octava MC-012's- A little darker, rounder, smoother sound. A good match on sources that are strident to begin with. I like these mics.
 
Ok ok you sarcastic gits :p I'm just interested in what peoples favorite mics are for recording acoustics. Any budget. If I had to choose one pair it'd probably be a pair of km184's or the older km84's reason being I like the detail of them and they just sound great with my acoustic.
