I've used a pair of AEA R92's extensively, mostly as drum overheads and room mics, very nice on those and guitar amps too. I just can't justify the price tag yet. Also used an old RCA 77DX, which was wonderful on everything I threw it at.

I personally own a locker full of mics up in that price range, just no ribbons as of yet. I have an old Apex 205 ribbon kicking around that needs re-ribboning as the chrome paint on the magnets flaked off and tore through the ribbon, though I'm not certain it's worth repairing, even if I do the work myself...
