Hi Patrick,
honestly I don't see the point in change your configuration with two
similar microphones, but bigger.
In my arsenal I've got two 4060's and I use them quite often for field
recordings.
They are easy to bring around, light, very light. With some tape you
can stick them to a standard stereo bar and mic holder. I adapted a
zeppelin and a dead-cat to cut out the wind, I also have their own fur
and accessories. Everything can stay in little a box I can bring in my
pocket.
I built a jecklin disk I use sometimes when I can with great results.
They sound clear and bright, someone says "too bright" and in my point
of view is the brightness usually missing in all the projects.
Definitely I don't feel the need to replace them with anything else.
When I use something else is because I need to use other techniques
and other results.
Technically speaking the AT's are quieter and they have already the
XLR connector without using an adapter, but I never tried them,
probably they sound great and better than the DPA.
If you have the chance to try them out you should do a comparison
recording and make your choice.
If you find the 3032 for cheap you could risk buying it and try if you
like it more than the DPA, I think in any case will be pretty easy to
sell away the ones you don't want to use without loosing moneys.
