Audio-Technica AT2020 definitely perform better than those of other condenser ones that have no pre-amp. As per my experience, they sound too natural, even with pop filters sometimes. In that regard, I would suggest you jump for Audio-Technica AT4040. Remember that condenser mics are not to be used in noisy untreated spaces. But dynamic mics, are suitable for both untreated and treated spaces. If you ae in a too noisy space, consider shotguns (like Rode NTG4 PLUS) as their pickup pattern is very narrow. If you are willing to carry the mic with you, without pre-amp for portability Blue Yeti is the best. But the downside is that they are bit bulky. The polar patterns in these mics are customizable, suitable to take two sided interviews in podcasting etc. It's the best known customizable mic with loads of features for newbies.
