5k budget for a mic? Geez. I'm green with envy. Make sure you have a good preamp and compressor to go with it.
The Edwina's are nice, but to me they are Beta 87C's with better marketing.
Take all of that with a grain of salt, though, as there are thousands and thousands of recording guys who are smarter than me!
P.s. There is a Lawson 47-style mic in the classifieds, last I checked, and that would be an excellent purchase!

I actually have recorded through the Lawson 47 at a studio in Nashville. And while I think it is a great mic my sense was it was better suited for rockers with louder vocals and but over all very usable for a studio to be a good multi purpose mic . But for my voice when I went to choose a vocal mic it was not on my personal list as I wanted more air in the upper mids .
That said: Here is me through the Lawson on more of a rock type song
