You could do far worse! Rob also has a site / blog dedicated to testing 
different baffle arrangements etc. He has a scientific approach combined with a 
pragmatism that is admirable.

Never used a parabolic mic and never been to the jungle! My practical 
experience is limited compared to some of the real experts on this list. I am 
more an aggregator and synthesist of information.

Despite that caveat, I will say that your number one priority should be 
reliability in a high humidity environment. This concern should trump pure 
specs, since if your mic starts sputtering or your recorder short-circuits, all 
other bets are off.
