Samson C03 vs Samson CL8: Which will give me a better value for my money?

Currently I am choosing between condenser mics:
- Samson C03 - PHP3090/$75.30
- Samson CL8 - PHP7190/$175.20

I'm kinda shifting towards buying the C03 since it's much cheaper and I can use the spare money for something else but I can't seem to find any good legit reviews/mic tests that I can use to compare the sound quality of the mics to each other. So far they both sound pretty good. Is the recording quality of the C03 far enough that you will hear a significant difference in quality from the CL8? Or should I buy the CL8 for much better quality (if it does)? I'm mostly using it for recording vocals, violin, and acoustic guitar. Thanks! :D

And please if ever, don't suggest me other mic brands to buy. These really are my only choices.

If the multi-pattern feature is not really a must, I'd look instead at an Oktava 219 which can be found pretty easily around $100.00. Just looked up Guitar Center used gear, found an Oktava 319 for $99.99 in Conn. @ 860-648-3900 also found a Samson CO3 for $29.99 in Texas @ 214-692-9999
