Apogee MiC 96k -- opinions?

[Mivo]

I'm considering to pick up the Apogee MiC 96k, mostly because I'd like a microphone that I can directly connect to the iPad (Air 2, in my case) without needing an interface or additional cables. I plan to record mostly kalimba, random sounds, ukulele, and occasionally voice (not vocals).

Do any of you have first hand experiences with it? Where would you put it, quality-wise? For context, I have a Rode NT1-A, Blue Baby Bottle, SM57 (and a Zoom H6).

Trying to decide if it's worth the €260 that it costs here.

looks interesting....

I'm also on the lookout for a good mic for found sounds and I was eyeing this one to connect with my iPhone 5C:
