I enjoy it, more because all my equipment is Rode, but the functional difference over PSA1 is not that much. It's basically a better looking version over PSA1 but not innovation: structure is the same, except the mic mounting element and knobs, 2nd better on desk mount accessory and the cover sleeves. Overall, if you need to just mount on the side of the desk and not care too much about the looks, you can go with the PSA1 and save some cash for the Podmic :)
