Fair point. I've spent a couple of days playing with a few sub-£200 ldcs and there is indeed a deal of difference, but not as much as I had hoped for, perhaps. The major differences seemed to be in the noise floor and the placement of the inevitable presence peak in the high end: I couldn't really find the lower warmth that seems to elude my ears, though.
Given the budget isn't going to change, I might take a wander down the valve route and see if something like thomann's SCT-800 has any nice surprises.

Don't think you're missing out on much with no sub-£200 mics, though. As with all things, one is content with what one can afford until one tries something more expensive... I'm therefore not tempting fate by trying what is outside the budget :-)
