Just curious, Rob, is your recommendation of MK2's over MKH-20's for
outdoor ambiance based on studio experience or nature recording
experience with the MK2's? I ask because I don't remember you talking
about your experience nature recording with the MK2's. What have you
found with these out nature recording?

I agree, the AT3032's do look to work ok as a low cost alternative to
the MKH. That based on only a very short experience with them in a
Modified SASS so take it with a big grain of salt:
