Based on the song sample, I could see the two mics swapping roles on some songs.
I was going to suggest something in the C12/251 family to compliment your more mid-forward lead vocal.
The Vanguard mics are also a great value for that style. BeesNeez C12A clone fits your budget too, and it sounds great based on what I’ve heard.
