I assumed you meant per mic. Recording in stereo with 2 mics is definitely recommended, so that means 150-200 per mic. Lots of choices, but not a lot of reason to prefer one brand/mic over the other without more ideas of what you need. But there are quite a few examples of less-expensive mics here, people have posted examples with Oktava's, ADKs, Audio Technica, MXL, Rode, and many more. My impression is that in a blind test, you won't be able to tell the difference between properly done recordings with different mics in this range, or if you can, you won't find a mic that everyone agrees is "better". You can often get mics on trial and return them - so look at stores with good return policies and give something a try.
