With case, shock mount, and accessories. Both retail for $100, regularly on sale around $50. Based on quick survey of reviews, both have varying degrees of electrical noise, LC200 lacking in bass/mids and described as "thin", LR100 described as lacking in high-end but good for rounding out guitars.
I bought the LC200 for cheap sound in a good room. My experience with the similar Monoprice 600800, lots of detail so you'll need a quiet recording environment, not for live use. You'll want to apply some EQ, but you'll do that in mixing anyway. My 600800 failed (huge increase in noise floor) despite being babied, so anticipate reliability issues down the road. Still, if you don't have a large diaphragm condenser, or could really use a case and shockmount, hard to beat the price. I'd probably have bought the ribbon also if I had an amp without line out, but I record and perform my guitars DI.

Must resist, must resist. Too many mics, need to sell them, not buy more!

For multi-pattern/figure-8, probably the cheapest price point I've seen to get into stereo recording...
Plus, haven't had monoprice steer me wrong with mics or guitars yet. These ribbons are pretty good for micing guitar cabs...wish I could've waited a year for this price, but they were worth what I paid for them...is what I have to keep telling myself whenever Monoprice goes on the real real clearance =X
