For that money I'd consider getting the Apogee MIC. It's usb, but that does mean you get Apogee
converters as well. It's quite small in size, but sounds like a large diaphragm condenser.
I had it for a few weeks and was very pleased with the sound.

In studio recordings I have never used cheaper mics on vocals, so I don't know about that.
Rode NT2 seems to be very popular, but I haven't used it on vocals.

^ Yeah MIC is a good call. I would recommend the Audio-Technica AT2020 too.
