You may be able to just use EQ on your resulting tracks to get to where you want. The difference between 40-50 Hz low end on a vocal shouldn't be noticeable in the end result. Neither would be wanted on a vocal track here. I'd be cutting that range out out anyway in a normal situation.

As an aside, I have an extremely cheap Audio Technica mic that is terrible for everything but cymbals. The specs say it records a 35-16k range, but the only thing it really is good for is a ride cymbal. Go figger. Lows and mid-lows are terrible, but upper-mids are great.

If a condenser mic was too sensitive, go ahead and try out a 57 or 58. They are quite common; someone you know may have one they can can loan you for a bit. Others here may frown upon them, but they have been used on many multi-platinum recordings so they can't be all bad.
