There will be differences, of course, but for recording real instruments and vocals - where you will almost certainly use compression and EQ - I will bet you that the difference between most good mikes above 150 euros will be negligible, as far as your audience is concerned. Again, it's all about what you do with the recordings.

Agree 100%.

A bit of compression, or a bit of subtle EQ does way more on the sound of a mic than the mic itself... Mics hardly ever sound good - you need a great surrounding to make it sound good :)
