WOW you will get all kinds of opinions, Some of which will cost you $2000+,

What I tell my customers is to keep the quality of the recording chain similar. It makes no sense to use a $100 mike with a $3000 Pre amp. As the price goes up the returns diminish.

Anyway here's my suggestion and what I have used for years. My mike choice is the Rode NT2 (which they do not make anymore). We Also have an AKG414 but I like the Rode better and use the Joe Meek VCQ1s. You have a good mike.
Some good choices for you would be
Grace Design m101 $600
GroveTubes Brick $400
True Systems P-SOLO $500
My personal favorite if I were buying today Joe Meek OneQ http://www.musiciansbuy.com/Joe_Meek_OneQ_1U_Deluxe_Channel_Strip_with_Free_ONEQKIT.html

All less than $700

Im happy with Joe Meek but ANY of these would more than suffice in a Home Studio
