Mic advice

[Oskar]

So anyway, having moved to the countryside I have enough space to get back into recording again. I need to find a good mic - or maybe even two or three - to record my vocals. I have a few different voices, as it were, depending on how hard I sing, what techniques I use and so on, so I may need different ones to accomodate my different "vocal personalities."
Firstly, my vocal range includes both a bass-baritone voice (sort of like a downgraded Paul Robeson, I suppose) via regular baritone that can I've had compared to folks like Levon Helm, Dr John and Paul Barrére out of Little Feat, as well as a falsetto voice which is more Rick Danko than Al Green.
ANYWAY, I'd like to give myself the opportunity to record my voice in its different modes, should I look to get a really expensive one that can do it all or go slightly lower price-wise and get two or three different ones that enhance a particular way of singing? So far, Stein (electro80) has very kindly loaned me his KelAudio mic, which is very nice indeed, but I feel bad about taking advantage of my mate, y'know? Also, he should be able to use it, it's his bloody mic!
Also, there's mic preamps; I've just got myself a Focusrite ISA One "brick" preamp, and there'll probs be another one or two to follow within the next year. Any suggestions? I'm not in the market for the $4000 Grace ones or similar, nor am I going to be content with a Behringer or similar.
Any suggestions, tips, warnings, whatever would be much appreciated.

Del Palmer (Kate Bush's Engineer) who has just bough two MA-301 FET mics and thinks they are brilliant!! But at $900 new they should be!

However they do pop up on e-bay, well .co.uk for a fraction of that so it might be worth watching out.

Thanks, Zodiak! Actually, Mojave Audio have sort of been on my radar for a while. Am I correct in thinking that they're designed by David Royer?
