I'm sure everyone's tired of this topic, but none of my searches have led me to a decision.
I'm about to undergo my first major recording project. I will be producing and tracking it all, and it's getting mixed in Nashville. I've been getting pretty good sounds out of my studio, but I feel the need to up the quality of my LD mics. I've been using RODE NT-1's for OH's, room mics, and vox for a while now. They don't sound bad, but I know I need to upgrade to something a little nicer. All that I've read on this forum has led me to either an AT4033 or a SP-C3. I will kill for a pair of 414's, but I don't have the budget for that right now.
I just need a pair of killer LD mics that'll sound great on OH's and male vocals. Please, any recommendations are helpful. Thanks!

Cash, I would like to keep it under $1000 for the pair. I can usually get most mics for around 10% above cost. So that helps me a little.
I typically record heavier Emo type bands. The band that I'm about to record is pretty melodic with a fair amount of screaming. I've read that Terry Date uses 58's for about 80% of his vocals, especially for all the screaming. I've done that in the past with pretty good results, until I did the demos for the band I'm about to record. Then I let him scream and sing into the NT-1, and it sounding great. So I guess that's another issue is that I need it to take the SPL's
