Larger size may be hard to place on a crowded desk

Relatively large footprint for small desktops or home studios, not ideally portable, record quality can't be user defined, will be overkill for some occasional users, no Pop Filter as standard, cheaper options available. Min specs: Mac OS X 10.4.11 or...
