A low-cost mic to record a cello

I'm thinking about a flat small diaphragm mic (large or ribbons are too expensive for me).
I think a flat mic will do it better than a bright mic with peaky high ends.

Something like Beyer MCE 94 or Sennheiser MKH 40.
Do you think looking the graphs is a good way to choose a mic?
And what do you think of these mics?

Thanks.

I live in Italy.
Here is very difficult to find mics so I think I'll to London to Buy the mic.

So, you want to spend <=€350?

Have you tried Thomann's? Or maybe Musician's Gear?

I've tried them now...my first choice is Beyer MCE93.
It seems pretty good and chip.
Sennheiser MKH40 is really expensive..I didn't knowjavascript:emoticon(':?')
