New Condenser Mic Rode NT1-A

After talking to a few people about what low budget condenser mic to obtain, I went with the Rode NT1-A, purchasing it online from Sweetwater.com. I enjoy working with sweetwater's sales reps, they are very resourceful and non-pushy, which makes me comfortable purchasing from them.
What I need for my voice is a microphone that pics up the subtle nuances, since I have a quiet voice. My vocal treatment is more a la' blonde redhead, so vox recording for me has always been a task.
This microphone, with a pop filter, and plugged directly into my Mbox Mini is exactly what I need right now to record tracks for my EP. I also plan to record a violin player using the same setup. Lets see how that goes! I feel I will have more problems writing out the music for her than actually capturing the audio.
FUN!
I posted a link below to Amazon's site which has the same product, and is sold by several different suppliers, as well as has a few used ones. BTW, I am an Amazon.com affiliate, but feel free to browse other reviews and purchase it from wherever you choose!
