No complaints here for under $100, http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Split1x2

The iso splitter box is great if you are sending the signal to 2 different places, but in the case of sending 2 versions of the mic to the same console a simple FMM twofer will work as well.

For educational purposes/benefit, what is the difference between sending 2 versions of the mic to the same console or two separate consoles?

In a perfect world, none.  But in real situations, a monitor console (for example) may be powered from a different AC source than the FOH console, so you *could* develop a ground loop, a.k.a. hum.  Sending one signal through a transformer eliminates the loop.

In the case of the vocal pedal being discussed, it lets you set the gain and eq for the effect separate from the clean mic. Since the pedal currently reduces the gain significantly this would be an advantage.

Perhaps a better option is a switch box which lets the artist decide when to use the effect and when not to. This takes that responsibility off the soundman. Whirlwind among others makes a footswitch that does this.
