What mics have you already tried? In what way did they fall short? Any of the mics you list should be good enough to produce more than just demo tracks. There's always some better piece of gear to buy - and if you want mics that theoretically match the quality of your Grace, you may need to increase your budget - but that may nor may not change anything.

The limiting factor in home recording is usually room acoustics. That, along with the performance, mic placement, and general recording skill are what will make a difference between a demo and a pro-quality recording.
