Which of these preamp/converter combos will sound better?

I only need two channels, and am trying to decide between the following combos:

(1) Mackie 1202 VLZ-Pro preamps + Lavry Blue converters

-- OR --

(2) API a2d (has built-in mic preamp and converters)

Which one of these is going to sound the best? I normally just record vocals and guitar.

natural sounding vocals - WHAT MIC, PRE AND CONVERTER COMBO?

I got a budget of 6K GBP ($12k) if i make use of interest free cred. I want to make some vocal recs of Indian Classical. (you can get an idea of voice on http://www.londonsiva.com recorded on AKG c414). I dig the vocal sound of Pete Gabriel's SOand he used a tube 47. SO, I figure I should get a tube 47 copy.
