Thanks for your input!

I have a pair of M5s and an AT2050 (LDC multipattern).

It depends on what you want to do. The M5s are bright (like all cheap mics) but you can work with them to get OK sounds out of an instrument. The 2050 is also a little bright, and I assume the 2020 would be also. I used it for a while on vocals before I upgraded.

But it depends on what you want. Just instrument? M5. Vocals and instrument? Probably the 2020.
