Here is a comparison of the signal-to-noise ratios between the Sennheiser MKH 
800 (wide-angle cardioid setting) and the Avisoft CM16/CMPA-P48 microphone at 
ultrasonic frequencies:

The red line is the Avisoft CM16/CMPA-P48 microphone. It can be seen that is 
provides a significantly lower noise floor at frequencies above 20 kHz.

I believe that the Sennheiser MKH 8020 and MKH 800 are very similiar in terms 
of their signal-to-noise ratio properties.

Raimund
