I've been following this thread on and off for amusement value. And it has been amusing....
My $0.02:
I've posted mediocre recordings (yes even with Schoeps when I wasn't in a good spot and/or had noisy neighbors) and people have fallen over themselves with the superlatives. So download count means nothing. Many (most?) downloaders have no clue about gear, they're just happy to have a listenable recording.
But: if I were in that not-so-good spot with noisy neighbors running both Schoeps and internals, while the high end external mics might yield a so-so recording the internals will *always* be worse, by a significant margin.
