I can hardly wait to test it.
The deciding factor was that I can always have it with me without external microphones. And the fact that all preamps in this price range are already of a very high, almost indistinguishable quality. I've often read that it's better to invest in good mics.
In a second step, I will then set up my CM3 for recording with the aforementioned windscreen and the stands/brackets. I'm very curious about the differences.
Thank you all for your tips and experience reports!

I think you made a smart choice and will start recording immediately and everywhere, catching interesting sounds in completely adequate quality.
Also the budget doesn't suffer and it has clean enough preamps to use with mics like CM3, etc.
Good choice.

BTW - If you will record a lot and wish to share some sounds - I can really highly recommend Freesound:
https://freesound.org/
Also some professionals use it - they share some and offer more to buy if somebody needs more quality and specific stuff.
But mostly it's a community "creative commons" thing...
If nothing - there's satisfaction seeing people using your sounds for anything from some dance tracks, indie and student film making, animated movies, etc. and getting nice and funny comments (like for example, for my most downloaded sound of "dry castanets"): "I love you i love you i love you."
Obivously it was very helpful for someone seeking a specific sound fx. People used it as percussion samples (in "chillstep" as someone wrote), but mostly for animation - bug walks, teeth rattling and stuff...
It's fun, if no money.
Sometimes also collaborations happen, people seeking you out to collaborate on some project - I did with a few for animated cartoons and then recorded specific fx for them.
