I decided to get the sound professionals binaural mics used on so many Blind Cool Tech podcasts. They are model SP-TFB-2. Together with a bag to keep the mics in the total was $81. With my $25 Pay Pal reward voucher it came down to around $56. Not a bad price. If I decide to get the wind screens later I can always do that.
