I disagree on the mid mic; I find Cardioid is best, and identical
mics in coincident position essential for accurate imaging. But that
is a matter of taste I suppose.
There are stereo MS shotgun mics as well, no kluging needed. Just the
purchase price!
Not trying to change your mind. My perspective is music and ambience,
not birds or species.

Yes John, that would be probably a valid option. I aldreay tried
that, but was not satisfied with the results. MS obviously works best
with an omni as mid.
I'm also afraid that (from the perspective of a scientific
researcher) the resulting minor stereo imaging advantages do not
justify the additional efforts (weight, cabling and cost). Bye the
way, it's not easy to construct a mechanically rugged and reliable MS
shotgun microphone system.
