Looking for suggestions on a decent vocal condenser microphone

I've done a little research looking at both small diaphragm (SD) and large diaphragm (LD) condenser mics for recording vocals. The problem is, I don't want to spend too much money. I have narrowed it down to two:

Samson C02 - http://www.audiolines.com/product.php?productid=14520
They come as a pair and cost only $80 for the pair.

Audio-Technica AT2020 - http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/AudioTechnica-AT2020-Large-Diaphrag m-Cardioid-Condenser-Microphone?sku=270620
I found this one for about $70 (list $160).

Any of you have any experience with any of these mics? Any suggestions? I don't mind paying a little more if it is way worth it. I want a condenser mic that supports phatom power to use with my M-Audio 4x4 device.

Thanks in advance

20" iMac G5 (iSight), Mac OS X (10.4.11), - 17" iMac G4 FP - 2 iPods - iPhone 3g 16GB (2.1)
