Listening through headphones, you're probably missing the time-cues
for spaciality that the SASS or any "spaced omnis with barrier" system
gives. On speakers the differences are harder to hear.

A coincident mic system is more mono-compatible, but it's a trade-off:
better space on headphones vs. mono compatibility.
