Anton, it is often true that mikes can sound pretty similar over a variety of price ranges, however the ADK 6's were clearly darker sounding and less detailed than the Rode NT5's. Also I think you can find some affordable mike choices that sound better on the acoustic guitar than the NT5's.

I don't have any mikes in your price range but there are numerous threads in this forum you can read through where various mikes have be discussed - some include recordings made with them. Do buy mikes from a source with a good return policy, such as American Music Supply and zZounds.

Also invest in some room acoustic treatment if possible.
