Proposed bedroom studio
Here's what I'm hoping to do to set up my "studio on the cheap"...
 Feel free to comment.

I'd suggest you skip the acoustic tiles and get at least 4 - 2" X 2' X 4' bass traps. Set them up behind the mics and behind you.
Your problems will not be soaking up the high frequencies - which all those acoustic tiles are good for. Your issue will be low frequencies in a room that size and bass traps are the least expensive way to tame them, in my experience. For expert advice Goodle Ethan Winer.

Aurex or any kind of foam is junk. Don't waste your money on that stuff. I made that mistake and all I did was throw money away. The benefit is so minimal that it isn't even noticeable. I don't know what absorption material they're using in the traps you linked, but I highly recommend GIK Acoustics. I got my stuff from them. They helped me figure out what I need, they didn't oversell me, and their product is top notch.

3rd agreement - foam is NOT what you want. You can build your own bass traps (rock wool - OC703, 705 or Roxul) at least 4" thick. There are plenty of youtubes on it, or buy some nice ones from a place like GIK or ATS. I didn't have any local place for the rockwool, so mailordered it from ATS - shipping was not cheap, but made my first 6 bass traps, using 1x4 frames and burlap from Walmart for a total of $260.00.
I use eyehooks to hang them on the walls for mixing, and can take them down and use them as gobos when recording.

So I'm thinking this might be better...

I would personally put floor to ceiling super chunks in as many corners as you can afford, rather than any stand mounted traps. Then if I had money left over I'd put a few of the 4" thick 703 panels on the ceiling.
