best binaural mics?

I'd like some feedback on the different mics that people use out there for
headmounted binaural/semi-binaural recording. The main contenders seem to
be (in order of cost):

Shure WL-183 [USD 500 ???]
Sonic Studios DSM-1 [USD 600 ???]
Core Sound High End Binaurals [USD 900 ???]

Any plusses or minuses for each that I should note? My criteria here would
be:

1) Sensitivity
2) Self-noise
3) Vulnerability to wind/movement/handling noise
4) Stereo image
5) Field ruggedness
6) Capable of running on Phantom Power?

thanks+best!
d.

PS...does anyone have a working email for Sonic Studios?
