sorry to reply to my own post, but i was just going to say you are probably

better off in the long run if you can't afford to get the focusrite as well

as the better mics to get the focusrite and the cheaper mics. that way when

you decide it's worth upgrading the mic you will have a spare (still quite

usable) mic for when the more expensive one doesn't 'sit right' in the mix.
