What's the better choice/setup?

I record vocals on my laptop. Should go with....

1) pro-audio.musiciansfriend...hone?sku=271009

or

2) pro-audio.musiciansfriend...-Kit?sku=273102

with this: pro-audio.musiciansfriend...WELAID=82068294

--------

Note, I'm not necessarily asking which mic is better. I just want to know which 'setup' provides better sound clarity/quality...

Is it the USB mic? Or, the condenser mic with the addition of the mic mate? But mics are the same price, but I don't mind paying for the 'mic mate' if it will significantly improve quality.

Thanks in advance for any help. And I'm open to other suggestions/alternatives. I just want the best I can get for under $200

I'm not really fond of the direct USB hook up type mic's at all. sound wise I think they are OK, not great but simply OK.

For $200 you can look into a small 2 channel USB interface and one of the normal MXL mic's.

I tune down down...
