Yeah, I bought a Nady ribbon. I like it, it has good top end and works well for me on my acoustic guitar. I record with the mic about 18" away to avoid bass proximity effect, and boost at 10k just a little.
Also used it recently on whistle/flute with good results too.
It's not a mic for everything but for the price I figure worth having in the cupboard.
At the time I first tried it, I also tried a Royer which won the contest by a modest margin but it was three times the price and I couldn't stretch to that.
