Johan,
In my opinion you should stick with the PMD-661 and the NT1A. The NT1As
will need a bit of extra work - you'll have to construct a stereo mounting
and a good windshield as they are very sensitive to wind noise - but for
recording general soundscapes they will deliver stereo imaging and low
self-noise way beyond the other options that have been suggested to you. I
suspect most retailers have very limited experience with nature recording
and soundscape recording in particular.
Regards,
Tom
