Is this the best vocal mic? nope But that's perfectly fine unless you're singing an opera or something with really exceptional dynamic range. And let's be honest: is your voice really developed to sound better with a better microphone? It's definitely not mine. There's a reason probably 90% of touring musicians have used them over the past few decades, and it's not because they break easily and sound terrible. defend yourself from would-be burglars in an alley behind the bar where your band was just playing.
