I've used a few in this price bracket - Rodes, Oktavas but my favourite (and what I currently use) is the SE2200 MKII.
Ive got the multi-pattern version and I just can't fault it. Much more body than the Rode NT-2, airey but without the fizz of the NT-1 and nowhere near as dark as the 219 (which to be fair takes eq very well).
ive used a few others over the years but it's a good mic. Vox, acoustic guitar, hand drums and percussion - just great.
