I'm looking to invest about $350-$450 in a condenser mic and an audio interface for my PowerBook G4 for use with Apple's GarageBand, but I am having a difficult time finding either professional reviews or testimonials from actual users (with Macs running OS X) of the following audio interfaces. If you have any experience or could point me in the direction of some reviews, I'd be most appreciative! The unit needs to be able to record from a condenser mic (phantom power and preamp?) and guitar simultaneously. Midi would be nice but isn't necessary.

M-Audio OmniStudio USB http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Omni...ioUSB-main.html
M-Audio FireWire Solo http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Fire...eSolo-main.html
M-Audio MobilePre USB http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Mobi...USB-main-1.html
Edirol UA-25 Digital Audio Interface http://www.edirol.com/products/info/ua25.html

I'm looking to make recordings to share with family and friends like the following (which I did using the built in mic on the powerbook -- yeah, Baby!):

For what it's worth, I'm looking at mics in the $200 neighborhood, and am trying to choose between the following four:

Studio Projects C1
Rode NT1-A Anniversary Model
Audio Technica AT3035 Cardioid Condenser Microphone
AKG C 2000 B/H100 Microphone with Shockmount
