Is this a good vocal microphone? (Audio-Technica AT2035)?

I currently own a cheap Samson C01 condenser microphone and I'm looking for a nice upgrade. I don't really want to spend too much money, and so this Audio-Technica AT2035 is right up my price range.

I'd like to know if anyone has experience with this brand, or better yet, this model microphone, and if it's a good choice for rock/rap vocal recording? Any feedback would be great, thanks!

P.S. I use a Behringer UB1832FX-PRO mixer with a M-Audio Delta 44 Interface. (soon to be a Delta 1010 LT)

The Shure SM7B is a very nice microphone. And you had me sold on it until I noticed it's Dynamic. Will lose any range on a mic such as this? How do dynamic and condenser mics compare?

It's a little more money (ok, well, twice as much) but the SM7 ( http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/Shure-SM7B-Microphone-with-Switchable-Response?sku=270247 ) is THE current rock vocal mic.
I'm not sure the AT would be a lot better than the Samson that you have.
