Be careful what you ask for:

http://www.rodemicrophones.com/nt2a_desc.asp?menu=3Dnt2aMenu

Eventhough the self noise of the NT1A is lower and the response
between 125-700 Hz can be less prone to exaggeration, the wide,
spatial imagery and flexibility of m-s with mkh 30/40 m-s is pretty
hard to match with 2 cardioids,.. but now we can experiment M-S with
NT1-A and NT2-A or the Peet Cube with 4XNT2-A's.

The NT2-A circuitry looks very similar circuitry to the NT1-A. The
first downside I see is a fair amount less output  (16mV/Pa vs
25mV/Pa) and a bit more noise  (7dbA vs 5.5 dBA).  Doesn't I didn't
see the weight and size info yet, looks longer and fatter. Rob D.
