New vocal mic for classical female vocals?

[arvoitus]

I am (actually, my girlfriend is) looking for a new vocal microphone. Here is an example of her singing (4 years old, recorded with a different setup):

Signal chain is currently a SM58 in a EMU 0404 USB.

Does anyone have some suggestions for a microphone in the 100/150 Euro range?

I've heard great things about the STUDIO PROJECTS B1, but im curious if you guys have some other advice.

I just got a AKG Perception 200, it sounds AWESOME! though not sure about the female vocals thing

That's a tough call...IMO you want a condenser to capture the crispness without being harsh. I can't think of one I really like that's that cheap. Maybe a used EV RE20 or Shure SM7?

One thing to remember is Mic is only part of the vocal chain. Pre-amp/comp are extremely important. here is how I look at it
Cheap mic+ pre = Longer work in DAW with EQ etc
Quality mic + pre= less work in DAW

in that price range... go with the SM7(if you can find it used) or even a 57 really. If you can go somewhere and play with used mics. Cheap mics are made inconsistently and you can always luck out and find one that sounds fantastic.
