"Stenman", thank for the input, yes most recordists prefer several mics
in their toolbox.
As long as it stays reasonable portable, the more the merrier?

Bruce, an advice, -  using a tuned wide cardioid in a dish will take
further advantage of the parabolic dish gain, reduce handling noise and
lower the bass dip as an alternative to placing a microphone closed in
between a plate and the dish.

There is no difference between theory and practice... in theory. There
are other qualities than amplification.
