Line Audio CM4 (open cardioid) and OM1 (Omni).
You mentioned the MKH8020s (I use those now; they're awesome and totally worth it), but the much more affordable Line Audio OM1s are also very nice omnis. I also have a Rode NT4 for a quick XY Stereo set up, and that's done well whenever I need it. Hope you find something you like!
The line audio stuff from sweden is fairly cheap, and they are amazing, both the omni’s and the cardioid condensers aren insanely good. Also had a lot of fun with cheap electret mics (the ones that need a battery to work), they can be really silly but work in some instances. Lastly the german webstore thomann has a line of house brand ribbon mics that go for like 80 bucks and they are really useful!
