This is for just basement recording, nothing professional or anything.

My current mic I got a long time ago is a b-2 behringer condenser

But what is a good budget ($100-$200MAX) Condenser mic for doing strictly vocals?

A long time ago someone recomended a Studio Projects B1 mic. Is this outdated now? It was priced pretty low (like $110 on ebay new) but I wanted to hear some more updated opinions.

Would these even be much of an upgrade (or at all?) of my current behringer?

It will be an up grade ..... What other microphones have you been looking at?
 
Will it be just for your vocals or are you to use the microphone on other sources?
 
Are you anywhere near a GC store to be able to test a few microphones before purchasing?
 
If there's a store close to you; you could go demo mics. There's quite a few to choose from for your budget, and you'll notice mics can be a personal preference thing :)
 
Why are you stuck on getting a condenser? At the price range you're talking about, you might find a way better sounding dynamic for vocals. Depending on the room you're recording in, even a good condenser might sound worse than a dynamic. A condenser won't make a bad room sound good, it will make a bad room sound worse.

EDIT: Sorry, I got this thread mixed up with another thread where someone was looking for TWO condensers for $100. At your price range of up to $200 for one mic, you may well find a decent condenser. But what I said about the room and the poosibility that a dynamic might suit your needs better is still something to consider.
