Help recording concert (Mic choice)



Hello everyone;
   I need help rather quickly.  I am hoping to record the Canal Street concert (Sat. night show), as well as the Buddy & Julie Miller/Patty Griffin concert in Louisville on Sun.  I have a recordable minidisc player (Sony MZ-R55), but no Mic yet.  I want to get a good microphone, but I can't spend something like $500 on one.  (More like less than $200, and in order to get it by next Sat., I should order ASAP). 
 
   I don't know much about all this Mic stuff, and even after reading the info on the webpages, I feel like I should check with someone who's done this before. 
 
   I need a mic that will be versatile for different recording situations (small bars like Canal Street, as well as larger places such as the place where Buddy/Julie/Patty concert). 
 
Here are two that I'm considering:
 
Sound Pros Premium Stereo Microphones--Cardiod
http://minidisco.com/minispecs/soundpropremees.html
 
Sound Pros LARGE Otter Box Binaural mics (I really like this "box" idea) 
http://minidisco.com/minispecs/sp-otter3.html
 
   There are also a lot of selections on the following webpage, directly from the company (Sound Pros), and there is a discount.  Anything here that would be better than the last two?

   Any help would be appreciated!  And as soon as posible, too, so I can get the Mic in time.  Thanks so much in advance!  Please respond privately to TrentJerome at hotmail_com  unless you think the whole list is gonna want to read this technical stuff. 
 
Sincerely;
Daniel J. Summers
