Danny's right, most of the work done at the excellent Cornell workshop 
was with the Telinga.  My interests were also in ambient recording and 
the Cornell guys gave me some valuable hands-on with an M/S rig. 
Another great things about the workshop is that you can arrange to 
borrow mics from them and get real sense of the differences in 
application and sound.
