If you have access to an educational discount program, you may be able to
get MicroPhone II for a good deal less than the $200+ typical mail order 
price.  I paid $75 for MicroPhone II version 3.0 through the University
of Minnesota educational discount program, and it appears to be identical
to the non-educational version (the program itself, manuals, packaging,
etc.)
