Great idea but out of his budget range.
David's happy to spend up to $1000, hence the suggestion of including anoth=
er mkh series mic.
The only difference between the double ms and ambisonics is that the former=
 has a "circle" rather then a "sphere" pickup. Double m/s IS  coincident wh=
en done as proposed with all 3 capsules in alignment.

Grant.
