Is the Baofeng mic giving you bad audio, or would you just prefer a mic that is perceived to be of higher quality?
A microphone is a very simple device, and very basic mics can provide excellent audio (I have heard many great audio reports about the hand mics included with the last few Icom radios - the 7300, the 7610 in particular.), but some people don't like hand mics and prefer other options (boom or desk stand microphones).
Microphones are one of those areas where a Ham can sink a lot of money without meaningfully improving their signal. Many/most new commercial radios have elaborate equalization capabilities, but a basic rig like the uBitx lacks such niceties, opting to focus on functionality, intelligibility, and affordability.
That's my $0.02,
