Anyone owned both the AT2020 and Blue Yeti?

Time to upgrade my snowball so I just purchased the blue yeti on Amazon. Now, I have been watching numerous videos and it seems like the AT2020 is a good opponent. I still have time to cancel my order and switch to the at2020, but wanted to know if anyone has owned both and which route to go. This mic will just be used for commentary and nothing else.

P.S. I know there are multiple threads on snowball vs yeti, but I could not find any threads, on here, for the yeti vs at2020.
 
Stay with the Yeti if you've ordered and even have time to cancel it, the AT2020 has better quality but the Yeti has more features such as more patterns and Headphone monitoring.
 
I have watched probably 25 videos on comparisons. Now, i will not ever use the headphone feature with the yeti, and I will never use another option other than cardioid. I am purchasing the bundle for either or, which comes with a pop filter and stand. I record in my dining room, cuz thats the little space I have that my wife doesn't have her stuff, lol. So, it is hard wood floors and a table and some other stuff, so it does echo a tad. I have heard the yeti picks up more background noise.

I went ahead and canceled the yeti order, just to make sure I am getting the right one for my money. So now I am open to either one.

Quote well we have the YETI Pro.. We record in our basement studio that has a lot of Echo. you can watch our video to hear the sound quality we have. I have used many different mics not th at2020 but many others and I am very pleased with the Yeti.

Thanks for the feedback.[DOUBLEPOST=1389651899,1389628834][/DOUBLEPOST]Tarmack helped me get a good setup:
AT2020 XLR with cables, mic stand, pop filter, and shock mount
Behringer 302USB mixer
 
Well ... It comes down to you ... AT offers more clarity ( kind of speaking in room ) & Yeti offers compressed kind of sound ...
