(I like the beta 58, I own one, and it has a nice sound.
I don't own the cad you mentioned, but I do have some nice cad cm
179 large diaphram mics, variable pattern with pad and bass roll-off.
If you are going to have a treated room, and can only have one
mic, I'd get the cad.
Of course you can never have too many mics.
the small condensers will work well for many things too, but they
are just so sensitive, and kind of fussy
like when your micing a guitar, a the bridge or near the hot
spot, you'll get a bigger nicer sound out of the large mic,
and it'll be les sensitive to position changes.
The swmall condensers are best for drum over-heads, or used as a
stereo pair,
for picking up something like a band live, or choir,
but this is all relative,
if you do it right and watch your p's and q's, you can make a
nice small condenser do anything,
I have a friend who swears by the sm81's he did everything with
them back in the day,
but for me, I prefer a nice dynamic like the sm7b, and or a large
condenser,
I don't like the small condenser for vocals, because it's so
sensitive to wind noise, you really have to watch it and protect
it well with foam or hoop wind screens those panty hose hoops 'grin'.

microphone to record instruments
Why do you want pencil mics instead of large diaphram mics, or
even a quality dynamic mic?
Small condensers have their uses, but they tend to be very
sensitive to handling and wind noise, I like them mainly as
drum over-heads or maybe choir mics.
And, I wouldn't go real cheap, you may not like the sound,
if you go really cheap, make sure you can return the mic if you
don't like the sound.
I went with shure sm81s for my over-heads, they weren't cheap,
but I'm glad I went that route instead of the budget mics, you
don't need the most expensive ones,
but quality will tell in your recordings.
