Which Mic to buy?

Okay, here's the deal; I've got a new R&B group I'll be recording and it's a good oppurtunity for me. Currently my mic closet is overcrowed with me single SP C1:) which serves me well as it's my sole workhorse, but I'm looking to increase my choices. These guy's I'm going to be recording have smooth voices and I'd like to give them a little flavor.

CAD M9 vs. . . RODE K2

So I'm looking to pick up a decent mic for my project studio and from reading reviews and getting several opinions these two mics come up the most as the best in my price range. Any thoughts? I'm stuck with a dbx 386 pre and a PreSonus blue tube, though of course I'll be looking to upgrade to perhaps something from UA when funds allow.
Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

Hi, this may seem like a stupid question to most of who, but as Im new I'm gona ask anyway...

Can someone please tell me the method of Micing to computer.

Once ive connected my pg58 to my preamp, do i use xlr-1/4 cables into my emu or 1/4-1/4 cables? Baring in mind I want it to be a balanced connection.

Thanks

Mic Setup

Hi, Im new to digital recording and have a simple question.

After connecting my Shure pg58 to a preamp, do i then use an XLR-1/4" cable to run it into my emu's 1/4" input or do i use a straight 1/4" - 1/4" connection to the soundcard, baring in mind i want it to be a balanced connection.

Thanks
