I'm hoping that all of the MKH-80x0's are single-diaphragm unlike
the dual-diaphragm MKH-80's and MKH-800's.  I've always been leery
of dual diaphragms, and some 'perts with net.presence have complained
of mid-range not-rightness in the MKH series.

I'm hoping the MKH-8000s achieve a lower price point by simplification;
we'll see when they hit the streets.
