Can't comment on the SP model but Jon at Naiant makes the X-X Omni and it's affordable, small and configurablehttp://naiant.com/studio-electronics-products/microphones/x-x-omnidirectional-lapel-condenser-microphone/
Cant comment either but I know if the choice was between - CA-14 omnis and - CA-11 omnis (mark II) i'd go for CA-11 omnis (mark II). Best sounding miniature omnis I've had. (I had chopped naks cm300 omnis, ca-11 omnis, ca-14 omnis and at853 omnis)
I really like my Countryman B3s. Check out this: https://archive.org/details/furthur2012-07-11.bryonsos and compare it to the other sources. I knew there would be a bunch of tapers, so I decided to play with my new toys. IMHO it sounds as good or better than the sources from full bodied mics.

I'm not familiar with the X-R omnis, but that could be an option also with right angle cables or adapters for splits. I don't know what your rig setup is but with Naiant mics you may have to seek out your own mounting system. With the X-Xs, I just gaff them to outriggers or kick drum stands when on stage.
Do you have any sample recordings with the X-X's?
X-X samples, some variety to give you an idea. I mainly use them with a front/back or X/Y pair in the middle.Stealth at a Reggae show : mics at 180* with about 20cm separation; behind the board at the right PA; approximately 15m from stage. Minimal EQ on this one.https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6xj5Qw14XoDRDlxbEJFbWJ1OWc Moonalice: mics at 180* 1.3m apart; stand 7' up about 10m from stage, center; normalized from the raw file. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6xj5Qw14XoDX0FrWkpDc2ljaDgThe Waybacks: mics AB 1.3m apart, stand at 8' about 30m from the stage, center; from raw file. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6xj5Qw14XoDWVk3ZVVGdFhmcUUedit: The first is through a Naiant PFA, the others PIP. They are also only the X-X channels if i didn't make that clear.
Hey, those sound great! Thanks for posting the samples. Just what I needed to help make an informed decision. What recorder did you use with PIP?
