Microphone suggestions for Vocals and Acoustic Guitar in the $500 or less category?

I may try to obtain one more microphone to see if I can get an even more optimal sound.
 
I'd like to see what folks recommend.  I have a vocal booth, so I'm not worried about ambient sound bleed.
 
Whatever you have that seems to really get it right I'd like to hear about it.

For a little less you might like the Audio Technica 4040.  I've used mine for almost every recording I've ever done.  You can probably a-b them at a store like Guitar Center...

I've not used the 214, but my understanding is it's essentially a cardiod-only version of the 414, which is an indisputably great microphone for both vocals and acoustical instruments. Similarly, the Shure KSM-32 is functionally a cardiod-only version of the highly-regarded KSM-44, also popular for acoustical instruments. And I've got a 44 here you can try.

The capsule has the same edge termination and drilling pattern, but the electonics are different (back-electret vs. p48 polarized capsule). I have used 414s but haven't pay attention to what version they've been (B-ULS, TL-ii, XLS etc.), but I would say the c214 has a more 'scooped' freq response. Larger-than-life sound on single sources, but tough to mix. I sold mine.

Thanks all. I've spent the last week or two zeroing in on my preferred choice.

I already had an AKG C 4000b which is pretty powerful - (omni directional, cardioid, hyper cardioid, figure 8 capable). But I hadn't settled on it as the mic I loved for my tone. I also had an SM58 which actually has captured my tone really well.

I've been looking for a mic I can really heavily rely on and sounds like it is a high quality studio mic. One that will suit my voice tone and capture acoustic guitar without making it sound dull or tinny.

There's another thread I hadn't seen when I started this thread. One of the suggestions in there led me onto the path for narrowing it down.

I have to say, just like getting advice on monitors there's a lot of suggestions and personal opinions.

I ended up reading a whole lot and listening to a whole bunch of YouTube mic shoot offs, and samples of recordings from the top candidates - several mentioned above.

I really like what I read and heard about one mic. It just got ahead of the rest of the horses in the horse race.

I purchased the CAD Equitek E100s. It can be purchased for just over $300 if you look around enough.

Of the many YouTube clips covering it, this one guy here recorded a song using it. The other YouTube clips show it off very well in terms of comparisons to other mics, or simply to hear it pure on vocals or guitars. So those helped in my evaluation. This one clip below uses it to track several parts on a simple piece and it's the ticket I've been looking for.

I'm going to thank the person who suggested this mic in the other thread.

the Golden Age Ribbon Mic R-1 is very good for Acoustic Guitars not so sure about VOX however.

That is if you are interested in Ribbon mics...

I have yet to get a good condenser, but subscribed to this thread as it went along. B&H runs the E100S for $329, I noticed, and the more impressive thing is 4.9/5 for 30 reviews. This one has definitely made the short-list in quick fashion (the non-intrusive shock mount and flat face are nice features too).
