I've got access to a mic locker of over 200 excellent mics here where I work and after years I still fiddle with different choices. Now, mind you, when the rubber hits the road and we are in a serious session, I'm quickly down to just a few favorites.

Well Bob...having 200 mics to your access and being an old Grizzled engineer(lots of wisdom I assume)
Please give me your two cents...as I can not test 200 mics ...ha ha..
Here is a recording made with octiva 012...which I had not hear till just a moment ago...And knowing the sound of many taylors..I would have to say that these mics do in fact give a good representation and Open sound, in the space pair setup..

Given the parameters of my initial post...the mics under consideration would be.
Audix Sc25A ( and that is only because I can get a deal on it)
Octiva 012
Sennheiser E914 ( I have not heard a stereo set up yet)
AT4050 or 4033cl
Used Gefell300( if I could find them a reasonable price)
Or anything else I should take a look at.
