Okay so it would seem to ship a $150 mic to Aus from musicians friend is going to cost me $90+ so what I've done is look at a couple of Mics within the prices I'd accept spending.

So lets start with one I've already mentioned The Audio Technica AT2020
(Just realised Im not allowed to link to external sites yet due to forum rules appologies.) If you go the Audio Technica Website its quite easy to find, just under products/microphones

I'm still a little rusty but comparing those stats to the MXL ones they look very similar, unless I'm missing something. There is also a USB one but Im not looking at that one.

I really do like the look of the MXL 3000 kit, coming with literally everything I need and all. But $90+ for postage pushes the price to $260 USD (or so). And I hardly see how its justified if I can pick up something of equal value here in Australia right..? Unless mics such as the one above just dont compare for some reason.
