I'm assuming that by Double M/S, you mean a single omni and two Fig8s at 
right angles.  This is an excellent method for recording surround, and it 
can be used to simulate the horizontal part of the output of a Soundfield 
microphone.  My colleague Thomas Chen and I wrote two papers on this 
subject, and I'd be happy to send copies to anyone who is interested in 
using these techniques to record surround.

It's lamentable that there aren't more choices for Figure of Eight 
microphones.
