I went ahead and pulled the trigger on this mic.  I'll report back with my experiences and some sound samples when I get a chance to run it.

Some physical specs for others' reference, and because I didn't see them much online...

Weight: 21.2 oz (that's just the microphone itself)
Height: 9 in (again, that's just the microphone)

This thing is beefy for sure (though it's also my first LD mic so I'm not sure if those numbers are typical).  I'll post more info as I use it and get some recordings from it.

I finally got a chance to get out and try this thing.  I ran it with an AKG C460B/ck61-ULS as the center channel between a split pair of omnis.  That means I can compare the CS5 and 461 side-by-side.  I set the CS5 to its cardioid setting and used the 5 db pad.  Both mics had windscreens on.  As you'll hear, the crowd was VERY talkative.  Anyway, here are the samples:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1n0IflrIOocVzZzWEx1R2RIRDg (Tails)

Which do you think sounds better, heads or tails?
