Thanks opsopcopolis and voltronic for clearing this up.
I had already imagined that just because a specific setup
is recommended for a specific style of music, it might not
necessarily be the best choice for a completely different genre.
So, it's great to get some feed-back from people who are
more experienced with these mic configs in a real-world scenario.
I still have a spare mixpre-2 preamp at home.
So, if if I understand you correctly, you suggest going
* MKH-8020 -> mixpre-2 -> M10
* KA500HN -> MBHO MBP 604 -> Femto -> M10
* SBD (individual feeds) -> mixpre-6
Where exactly (and how high) would you position the omnis?
(I'd guess that 2 superclamps and some short telescopic extension arms
might make good mounting options for them if spaced wide apart.)

As I wrote initially, they're absolutely pro-taping (and always interested
in talking shop about recording equipment). Their synth player is a huge fan
of vintage Neumann mics (although he has various Schoeps mics in his cabinet, too).
BTW: the venue is just a short pop from the headquarters of Schoeps.
