Best/Cheap tube mic

Pro Audio Asylum

Pro studio recording equipment and music production/industry.

I was wondering what the best cheap tube mic might be. Entry level. I have some real cheesy mics (e.g., ones that came free with a stand as part of a package, and an ancient Shure Prologue) and am now ready to move to the next level. In between somewheres, I fell in love with tubed equipment, so would like to get a tube mic. Seems the cheapest are around US$300 (see here: http://www.zzounds.com/love.music?p=p.ALEAM61&z=1326948431274) -- is this a good deal? Just in case you can't see the link, it's the GT Electronics AM61 Tube Cardioid Studio Condenser Microphone for US$300 -- discounted from a purported US$1200 retail.
