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.

don't get the behringer tube products. they aren't worth it. the solid
state stuff is fine, but their tube stuff is terrible (i had a tube preamp
of theirs for a while, can't remember the model but it was one of the rack
mount ones). the tube is more for show than anything - they still use solid
state through most of the circuit anyway. the tubes are also starved of
power from memory and distort very nastily, i think anyway - for all i know
it was the opamps distorting anyway - it didn't sound at all like 'tube
distortion'.
if you can afford the extra cost of the focusrite then don't even hesitate
to choose the cheaper behringer over it. don't get me wrong, i actually like
behringer overall, but they are no match for the focusrite pres. i have a
behringer ada8000 connected to an RME9636 hammerfall, and i just got a
focusrite pro26io. the focusrite pres were a league above the behringers.
the ada8000 is still more than adequate though, and i'll still use it, but
the focusrite is worth the difference.

right now I'm looking also for a good recording (not stage mic) and my
conclusions so far are:
M-audio Luna with Focusrite trakmaster
http://www.focusrite.com/product/trakmaster_pro/
or behringer B2pro
low budget
M-audio Nova or Behringer B1
with
Behringer ultravoice vx 2496
or some of the behringer tube products...
What do you guys think?

You might look into some of the new products
that combine a good
quality
studio vocal mic, mic preamp, and a/d interface
all in one product.
Consult your favorite search engine for 'USB Microphone'. Samson,
Rode,
and Blue are three manufacturers that showed up
for me.
...of course, then the search begins for working Linux drivers...
I have the SE 2200A usb mic. Sound great and works flawless with linux
(<7ms latency with jack). The really nice thing is that is has a
regulart XLR output, so you can get a good preamp later for even
better
quality.
