Hi. Schoeps has recently introduced a smaller (by about 40% in overall length), lighter (by about 20%), less expensive (by about 10%) version of its CMIT 5 shotgun microphone, called the "MiniCMIT". Its power consumption is also lower than that of the CMIT 5 by nearly half, and it can tolerate a wider range of powering voltages, although its dynamic range is best at 48 Volts.
In general the new model has the same sonic characteristics as the original--as it should, since it uses the identical capsule with an identical interference tube in front of it. However, the main way they made the microphone smaller and less expensive was by eliminating any switches on its body. So there's no way, unfortunately, to turn off its steep, built-in 70 Hz low-cut filter.
As a result, people here who record music and want a very high-quality shotgun microphone as the "M" microphone for M/S recording might well prefer the original CMIT 5. And those are becoming somewhat more readily available on the used market these days, as the word of the new model gets out, and some boom operators for film and video are switching over to the new, smaller version (which is easier to keep out of the camera frame when working in rooms with low ceilings).
