Seems to be a convenient package. It looks neat.

Self-noise is actually high enough to be of concern.

For half the price I'd have a pair of Rhode NT1A, which I indeed already
have. Quieter, and probably smoother.

I have a mount for coincident micing that cost about $15.

- that's about 200 quid less than normal retail and half
the price of a Russian Nevaton equivalent (which are
unobtainable anyway)....??

One or two good reviews on the Net from people who I

(independent Yank recording studios, mostly), here and
there...??

I reckon you now have your fair share of cardioids - and
you have much greater flexibility when you have them in
separate bodies. I'd leave this monster where it is.
