What is the best budget condenser microphone?

Question

I want to record vocals, I'm an amateur, first mic etc, etc.
I want a relatively good condenser microphone for a cheap-ish price. I don't necessarily have a budget, but I don't really want suggestions for mics that are ridiculously high in price as I'm not a professional nor do I have the money to buy it. 
When I say cheap, I don't want people saying annoying things such as "Well, you're not going to get a great mic for a cheap price, you pay for what you get" because that isn't going to help me, obviously. I just want you guys' opinions on which mic is the best in the beginner's category which exceeds in quality for the price.

I'd look at Audio-Technica, and not at any other brand, 
for an inexpensive condenser mic.
