I have a pristine Marshall MXL V77 tube mic that I would consider selling. It's discontinued, but it's one of the best lower-cost tube mics available according to Harvey Gerst and others. Han, a studio owner who posts here and many other places, has likened it to a Neumann - not saying it's identical, certainly, but reminiscent of the sound of I believe a TLM 103. I've never compared it directly to the RODE but I bet it's a comparable sound, and for less money.
