I was going to buy this mic:

But, is this a better mic? or is the price higher because of the shock mount?:

If you can think of a better large diaphragm condensor mic that is better than these, but less than 150 dollars, let me know.

in the case of the first mic, here's a link with a picture, but the price is higher:

what are you going to be using the mic for?

(instrument, recording/live?)

acoustic guitar, tablas, and for recording puposes.

The instrument that i want the mic to best suit would be the tablas. So, hand drums, kinda stuff...

The V67G, hands down. Actually, the 2001 is kind of MXL's black eye, in an otherwise excellent line of mics. There is a mod to make it much better, but I think you'd rather avoid that.
here's a link with a picture, but the price is higher:
It's higher because it includes the shockmount, which you need, and a very high quality mic cable. 8th Street also does price matching.
