When I want to record myself (various guitars), I usually borrow some
very good mics from the college. I record acoustic guitars in a common
way: large diaphragm condenser near the soundhole, and a small
diaphragm at the 12th fret. I'm thinking of making a small investment
in mics for the sake of convenience. I only want to spend around $300.
The recordings are just for myself and friends. I sometimes have a
vocalist joining me. Is this package about as good as I can do (quality
wise) on this tiny budget?

You can do better. CAD buys commodity (read: cheap) condenser mic
elements from China and puts them in a fancy expensive-looking housing.
So it *looks* like a quality studio mic (e.g. U87, KM84) , but it
sounds like a $49 Radio Shack Mr Microphone.
