$100 Piano Mic Suggestions

I am an AV tech with a dillema. I am tired of using my company's cheapo mics to mic pianos when they come through. I was wondering what would be a good general purpose microphone that is pretty good sounding on pianos for under $100. any suggestions? I would be buying this, not the company so 100 is all I can justify spending for something that really won't monetarily benefit me.

Opinions on the RME Fireface 400...or other suggestions?

My MOTU 8pre died after a couple of years, with absolutely no help from MOTU. The customer support is non-existent. Months of trying to call, email, technical support online, etc. I'm done with them.

I'm looking at the RME Fireface 400. Opinions on this one?

Other suggestions?

I use it for my keyboards, guitars, and vocals with Cubase SX3.
