RFI - Sennheiser mkh-60 vs. me66/k6

["Andrew Spencer" gwwarbler]

Hi all,

I am a bird sound recordist and bird guide living in Ecuador.
Normally I record with a Telinga pro Universal and mkh20 mic, coupled
with a Sound Devices 702, but while I'm guiding I can't carry around
the parabola.  So during those times I use a Sennheiser me66/k6 setup.
 I was wondering if there was enough of an advantage to using the
mkh60 mic to make it worth the added cost.  I realize that I won't get
the quality with either setup that I do with the parabola, but as I so
often hear interesting vocalizations that I want to record while
guiding I would like the best possible recording given the situation.

Thanks for any advice the you can give,
