NAMM around the corner

I certainly don't want this to be a Interface war but, I'm sure everyone does have their favourite. I'm saving to go away in June so afterwards I may be looking for a cheap Interface. I'm currently using the Eleven Rack and it's served me well but it's time to move on to something with better latency (believe me, I have tried everything). A budget of £200 is more than enough for me.

Bad to sing into a corner?

A few noob questions about booth setup:

Is it bad to setup a vocal booth and then setup the mic so u're singing into the corner (at a 45 degree angle)? Should the singer be facing one of the walls?

Are some acoustic foams better for sound control in vocal booths (for vocal frequencies) than others? I get confused looking at pyramids, wedges, tiles, etc..

in the left corner we have a

Great River MP-2NV (or a 7th circle 2nv really)
preamp. and in the right corner we have the Avalon tube preamp
these have been something i have been eyeing on and unfortunatly i have yet to hear an avalon.i am aware many hip hop and r & b locals consider this an industry standard. Can some one help me out here on giving the pro's and cons of these components?
