Need Microphone Suggestions

Hey guys I need your suggestions for a microphone. My dog destroyed my blue yeti pro a month ago so I need a new one(If you're wondering He climbed up the table and chewed up the mic of all things then it fell to the floor.).

 

My budget ceiling is 800 USD for the mic alone. I can go up to 1000 if the price is justifiable.

All I need is the best mic for streaming and the most natural sounding mic for vocals I do some home recording from time to time.

 

Preferably XLR input.

Yes i just received my pay for an outsourced job. And based on my budget I can go for that high but you can still suggest something cheaper.

 

Whichever mic you think is the best, the 800 is just a ceiling

Well did you have any problems with the yeti ? I'd suggest the pro for your needs.

Better tip: Buy the Yeti Pro and give the rest to me :P

The retailer where I shop/order audio stuff always get's sold out when it comes to yeti's. The only problem I had with the yeti is that it looks weird compared to common condenser mics.

I see, can't you buy it online ?

Shipping and customs are a pain. If I were to go shopping on amazon like last time I used amazon japan. And it took 2 months to pass through customs dang it.

Hmmmmm... well I could try other stores as a last resort but they're probably overpriced.
