Stick w/ the combo, Martyn. The 418S is way too noisy for the kinds
of amplitude dynamics nature recordists are generally working
with...particularly the Side channel. In addition, with the
windscreen, it's far bulkier than the 30/40 or 60/30 combos others
are using. Takes up LOTS of space in a backpack.
All best,
Bernie
