I don't know about Focusrite but I've heard the JoeMeek Mike Pre the
ThreeQ and it's pretty nice. I don't know if they carry it in the UK,
but in the US they sell for $200 new at any outfit. The ThreeQ also
comes with a compressor and the three EQ. Just a thought.

If you're really looking to stretch your dollar (or as another option
altogether) you could pick up a relatively inexpensive tube mic pre and
swap out the tube for something warmer/brighter.
