The wider the Mid pattern, Fred, the more robust the result when you
encode to stereo. Although I have 2 MKH20s, now, I still prefer the
MKH 30/40 combination because, for me, it provides the best solution
for a wide range of applications. A cardioid Mid (as compared to a
narrower field with the 50s - 70s) preserves the low end better, as
well.
With omnis as a Mid, you get a "false" center and never know quite
where that is in post-production (mixing).
