John,

If I may, I'd suggest a nice mic pre-amp before you purchase a mic. The pre-amp adds warmth to a vocal and I know its cold up North. I have the Presonus Tube-Pre and a Shure KSM 27 here. I use them at the Singsnap site and get personal messages about what gear I am using to record with. The pre-amp does make a huge difference in overall vocal output sound.

Here is a link on the Shure.
