Yet another microphone purchase question

Forums

I have about $300 to spend on a new microphone. Below is what I currently have. So my question is what microphone should I be looking at ? This is mainly going to be used for vocals.
I have been looking at the V69 and a few of the AT's. Is it really worth it for me to buy a tube microphone when I already have 2 great sounding tube pre's ?

Preamps -

One expensive microphone or many cheap ones?

Decisions, decisions.

Time to make a qualitative leap. Split between a U87 or a couple of cheaper but good mics:

perhaps the bright, but in an excellent way SP B3, the TLM 103 and the RODE NTK, for times when deliberate colour is required, though it seems to sound great on a few sources but terrible on many.
