I quite agree with you on the difference between a real sound board versus a computer.
However, I have been much more satisfied with the results from ATM61he(about $100) and Rhode NT1(about $250-300) microphones. But then again, much of this is subjective anyway. Then again, I don't really do home studio. I often get to support school childeren who will not get within 10 feet of a microphone or on the contrary, they will make a toy of it and show off. The ATM61he is as rugged as the SM58, but is able to support much higher gains(of 8-10db) without troubling me with feedback. If you really like the "warmth" of the SM58, you can always boost 400hz 2 or 3 db. The NT-1 is amazing in that it doesn't add any coloring of its own to the sound.
