I have a couple of AT-2035 that I use to record a single instrumental acoustic guitar. The large condenser AT-2035 are warmer to my ears than small condensers. I do not have any dynamic mics to compare them to though.

Just recently I did an experiment using a puffy and large bean bag "ball/chair" that belonged to one of my grandsons as an acoustic treatment between my guitar and the wall across the room. It gave me a bit more clarity, less muddiness which surprised me.

So as Bob pointed out you don't have to build panels as room treatments, you might be able to use a blanket or two draped in front of you, back a couple of feet to prevent reflections.

Before going down the rabbit hole of spending hundreds on new mics looking for "the one", a bit of room treatment might help.
