Earthworks PM40 substitute?

Hi! I'm new here. I just bought a bad-ass bechstein grand, and planning on recording trio sessions at home.
The problem is that I have cars go by all the time outside my house, so it's a little noisy.

Then i saw (and heard) the pm40 and i was stunned by the sound you can get even with the lid closed. I want That, i thought. The problem is that its super-expensive.

Neumann KM84 substitute?

Anybody have any ideas on a reasonable substitute for old KM84 SDC mic. I really like the sound of this mic om acoustic fiddle but dang they are pricey and hard to find in good condition. I really like the unhyped top end this mic exhibits.
I've tried the KM184 and it is not the same beast at all. Any clues on a reasonably priced substitute SDC mic ?

Substitute for Auratone / NS-10's

I'm about to complement my full-range monitoring with a pair of "groth-boxes", something to perform the function of Auratones and NS-10's. I'm not getting Auratones because I simply can't find a pair of them and NS-10's are getting waaay overpriced. So I need something to fine tune my mixes in, something that has the midrange-action of the Auratones.
