this era of cad e300 is quite nice:
http://cgi.ebay.com/CAD-Equitek-E-300-S ... 500wt_1001
made in USA, great on kick drums and female vocals. multiple patterns. pretty good on everything else. GIGANTIC. and you can run it without phantom for a while, its powered by phantom charged batteries.

I've been a big fan of the CAD M179 as an all-around LDC solution. Depending on where they're on sale, they usually run between $150 and $180.
I prefer it over the Studio Projects B-series in a lot of cases (though my B1 and B3 have been used a lot over the last 18 months) because the Bs don't capture lows well. The M179 will get them for you, leaving you the option to carve them out.
Also, the M179 lets you use a filter AND a pad if you need them, where the B3 only lets you use one or the other.
If you haul your gear around a lot, the M179 can be a double-edged sword; the foam-lined case is beefy, but it does take up a lot of room.
