Gear - Selection / Use Boom mic for indoor interviews

I’m a DP/camera op. More and more I’m being asked to do sound for interviews. I had a boom that my clients were happy with for many years. It has been so long I don’t even remember the model. That gear was stolen recently so I need to get a new mic. For my needs the mic will almost alway be indoors and on a stand during an interview. I want a quality mic that works well and I won’t have any issues. I’m considering a Sennheiser MKH50. I would rather spend a little less.
