I know that's not the answer you wanted to hear, but I would rather save my money for two Schoeps CMC-6 + MK6 (switchable cardio, omni, eight capsule) and not go for a mid-price mic. Trust me, It's the only mic you'll ever need for good acoustic instrument recordings! (Always my first pick for acoustic guitar). If you have two of them, you'll be able to make excellent A-B, XY or MS recordings. I've used them for nature recordings too (in omni mode with windscreen), and they sound awesome.
