Stereo from ME66s

I'm interested in the pros and cons of using two ME66s for stereo records 
because I'm in a similar situation to David Darrell-Lambert in that I have one 
ME66 and I'd like to make stereo recordings sometimes. I'm finding the quality 
from the ME66 way better than the inbuilt mics of the PCM M10, even ignoring 
the poor stereo separation of the latter.

I hadn't realised there might be a problem with a non matched second ME66. Is 
it simply a matter of tweaking the volume of one channel to fix this, or is 
there more to it?

And are there any workable arrangements other than crossing them at about 30 
degrees?

Perhaps an NT4 would be more sensible, given it's a similar price to another 
ME66, but I do like the idea of the ME66s blocking out noise from behind.
