Don't have any answer, but I think your budget will be a good start for people who may help you ;)

SM-7 is kind of the de-facto choice, but RE-20 is a good one because of its proximity effect simulation type thing

+1 for the SM-7

Is sm7B the same thing, cant seem to fint just the sm7. At least not in norway. The mic cost 863USD here, anyone know where they have a good price on it? And for the RE-20 I can only find a guitar pedal with the same name in norway.

7 or 7b never made any difference to my tin ears Also the RE-20 has a friend called PL-20 that will do the same thing and sometimes for way cheaper

not a popular choice, but I love my AKG c4000B. They can be had for dirt cheap on ebay compared to their price new. I got mine for 250.

Pipeline, I read that the SM7 is basically a SM57 capsule with a different housing. Is that true? What are the differences in how it sounds?

I have a Shure Green Bullet I use for amplified harmonica. it distorts pretty nice for death metal growls as well if you put an eq in line.
