I've got a similar all in one plug and transformer, but going low to high so I can plug 
my SM-58 into guitar inputs.  The problem with it is that it's a great big bulky plug
that sticks out and is liable to get in the way or get knocked, the advantage of it is 
that it takes up a negligible amount of space in my microphone case.
 
The ATC6824 would be a handy thing to keep with your microphone as an 
emergency backup or when you want to travel light, but a more practical option 
for sitting in with a band would be a floor based DI or preamp as suggested by 
Greg and Richard.
