OT: Recommendations for Microphone and Archtop or Acoustic Guitar



I'm looking for a decent recording/performance mic in the range of $400, for my archtop guitar.  I''ve found that I totally love the sound of this instrument miced at about 6" away from where the neck meets the guitar...very Derek Bailyesque. :)     I'm just using a cheap SM57 now and need a condensor mic with a wider range and fidelity. Any suggestions?
 
The reviews of the Sure SM81 look good for acoustic.  I have used the Rode NT1s in the past too with good results.

p.s. I just recorded a sample recording of a chord-solo interpretation of "Alice in Wonderland".
