small mic preamp suggestions

[vizo]

I'm looking to purchase a small preamp to put in the front of my chain, after my guitar, to beef up my sound a bit. I've been looking at a few.. especially the Tube Behringer Ultragain MIC200 Mic Preamp (http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=rec/search/detail/base_pid/182491/) and the Presonus TUBEPre Microphone Preamp (http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=live/search/detail/base_id/90030). Of the two, which would you prefer and why? I'm going to be replacing the stock tube in the one I get anyways, so don't bother with the tube that comes with any of them. Are there any others you'd recommend in about the same price range?

i have the behringer mic100, and it's great, I love it. Having said that, the presonus costs twice as mushc as the mic200, so that probably means some advantage, wether it's sound or more sturdy construction etc.

Thanks for the reply. What do you use your Behringer for? Is the 200 worth the extra some odd dollars? Is the only difference the dial that has the settings on it?

the second has a rumble filter. and analogue VUs. but then, the behirnger has a limiter, which is worth its weight in cubase dongles.

i couple the behringher with my shure sm57 for guitar cabs, and it sounds especially great for vocals, although I have yet to purchase a good condenser mic. Since i can get kickass vocals with a shure sm57 and the mic100, imagine a condenser (rode nt1a coming soon) coupled with it!

The 200 is worth the extra dollars, because it has a few models and a low cut switch. Definiotely worth it. It's just that when I went to the store that day I only brought 52 euro, which is exactly what I knew the 200 costed. I didn't know much about the mic200.
