Another vote for ADK. LOVE my Hamburg and Vienna mics! Larry, the owner is a gem to work with. Always willing to go above and beyond for his customers.

So ya'll are not saying why you like the mics maker and models ya'll are throwing out there.
 
are these mics warm sounding?  easy to work with?  is it just the price you are throwing out there?
 
I will definitely read more reviews of these to see what is said out there.

The Oktavas are mid-range sounding mics.  Michael Joly of Oktavamod is always comparing them to a u-67.  Some people call them dark, and they don't capture an excess of high end energy, but take EQ well.  His modified 990 Hulk is what I'd be looking at, too.  Just over your price range.  And all his mods take you well over your stated price, and they do add clarity to the stock 319.  It sounds great.   If you are discounting price, the new Gefell  is nice.

As close as you can get to an new-old U-47 as you are going to get.

as far as the ADK goes,
i was looking for mics in the sub $500 mark....
 
i read some positive reviews on the Hamburg,
tried it, and loved it.
 
it is a CLONE per se.......
of a very popular very expensive mic..
 
it does not sound like it, really,
but is close enough in the neighborhood to be worth every penny.
 
i like it for everything from tracking vocals, to both electric and acoustic guitars.
 
i've used it for percussion, overheads,  room mics
 
 
just a wonderful mic.

Lesser known brand, one of my favourite mics is a Studio Projects C1. No matter how many mics I get I always seem to go back to it because it just sounds so good with my voice.

I agree with Batsbrew on the ADK Hamburg. All around great mic. I like it on male vocals. It got a nice warm sound. The Vienna is equally as good. Just a bit more top end. For all intents and purposes, they are interchangeable, as they both seem to take EQ very well. 
 
I've also used them both on acoustic stringed instruments with great success.
 
The Hamburg has been my go to vocal mic for myself (medium tenor voice), until I bought a tube mic. I still use it for my vocals if I don't want the tube sound.

What about Blue Microphones?  Like the Blue Bluebird or Blue Spark o baby bottle?  What about those encore mics that JRRSHOP is always hyping in there ads?

Gonna be a little above your requested range... but maybe an AKG C214? At Sweetwater atm on sale for $400.

I looked into the AKG C214.  I have a AKG C1000S and kinda want to get away from AKG.
 
I want something else in the locker.

The 214 is vastly superior to the C1000, despite the small difference in price. It's essentially a cardiod-only version of the venerable 414, which has been a studio standard for decades because it's extraordinarily clean and versatile. Don't let the C1000 sour you on AKG.
 
I have an NT1-A and for years thought its purchase had been a terrible mistake. It does my voice no favors at all. However, I kept trying it on other singers in hopes of finding redemption for the thing. To my surprise, it turned out to be the perfect match for one singer - also a baritone. For his voice, that annoying 3KHz peak that made me sound like Peewee Herman landed just where it needed to be for my friend's lower-pitched country-rock style.
 
So it often comes down to finding a match for your voice, which other peoples' advice cannot help you with. It may even be worth your time to book an hour at a well-equipped studio to try every mic in their cabinet. It might cost you 50 bucks but save you hundreds.
 
That caveat aside, I don't think you can go wrong with an SM-58 in your collection. It's cheap, you can hammer nails with it, and has been very (very!) popular with male rock vocalists for 60 years. And if the music thing doesn't work out for you, it's also the preferred microphone for standup comedians.
