Would it be worthwhile for me to pick up a used pair of

For $500? Okay, I only have one small condensor mic, which is the ever-unpopular AKG C1000S. And I definitely want something for recording acoustic guitar. One mic would be enough if I also used a large condensor pointed behind the bridge. But I suppose having a matched pair would come in useful someday especially if I wanted to put them up in front of a drum kit.

My HD Test

Mixerman's testamony aside, I did my own HD test.

Otari MTR-90lll @15ips w/SR w/23 audio tracks.
HD 88.2 w/23 audio tracks.
HD 192 w/23 audio tracks.

The analog chain sounded best.
88.2 was good but sounded a little choked.
192 good with better detail and depth.
