Hello Inmate51:I thought your response was a good one, overall.
However, I have to mention to you that I have used true ORTF technique in recording chamber music, not to mention orchestral ensembles, for more than twenty years and I have to admit that I have been more than pleased with the results.
In my type of work, which is recording on-location and in very intimate halls, it is often impossible to place more than one stand in any position but one, so putting an ORTF pair atop a stand more than suffices. For more precise imaging, surely XY will do. Then, there is M/S to tantalize the ears with its possibility of changing the width of the soundstage in post-production. I have not detected any "nebulousness" in my soundstage with ORTF. In fact, it generally provides a rather nice full 180 degree spread of what is in front of it, provided that the ratio of performers to mic location is properly observed.
Cardioids are not all the same, naturally.
I personally prefer Swedish Milab multi-pattern microphones with the rather unique characteristics of a rectangular dual capsule, but often use other microphones in my work.
Thus far, there have been very few complaints.
