here is my current mic locker list. nothing too great yet...and I should have $500-700 to burn on a new mic or two...any ideas what i should get for a nice lineup?

Shure B-52
Beta 57A
5 - SM 57's
Rode NT5 matched pair
AKG 414
Beta 87A
and I have access to, but do not own, an AKG C451, Shure KSM44, and Neumann T-103.

I'd like to get into perhaps some M/S...but who knows. Can you all think of a mic or 2 I mught want to look into in a $500-700 or so range?

many thanks!
