I run the actives all the time too. Once you get used to running that way, you never go back. It throws a small shadow, so you get away with fob. You can clamp anywhere with ease. Leaving the verticle bar and shock mounts at home is a liberating experience.And get yourself a kwon bar for running DIN. You can run the ORTF upfront but I never wanted to run XY after I tried ORTF. NOS I love with the 43s. I think the DIN will give a similar effect with the 40s and he has a bar for running the hypers DIN also.
Being that your limited to certain configs with the Neumann bars, there are times that I have run the full bodies instead because I have such a shitty position to tape from in the venue and I feel the need to modify the config to fit the room better. Then there was the time I lost my neumann bars for over a year and was forced to always run the bodies because I didnt want to shell out the cash to neumann for new bars. Luckily I found them and its all good once again.
pretty much the same reason i won't mind running the bodies for my new schoeps. being able to vary around the "standard" configs is kind of a necessity for the venues I tape in. But it's just a personal preference. the smallness of actives is the heat though. if you got a stealthable pre/recorder it's a nice thing to have.

what's the point in paying for actives if you're not going to run them....

I never used to run full bodies, the fewer times you screw and unscrew those cables the less chance that one of the threads gets messed up...Good deal? I'm T'ing up all ya'all. Thanks for all they great info! (you can -T me for using "all ya'all" And someone welcome me to Team Neumann already!

vark bar is like $50, the sgc clips are $18 for the plastic... $62 for the metal here's the link to the vark bar http://www.posthorn.com/Macvk_4.htmlhere's the link to the clips http://www.posthorn.com/Sbutton03.html#table5I'm assuming you already have an a20s shockmount coming, if not they're available from posthorn as well....

I'll have to double check what i'm getting with the cmc64s. I think an a20s and possibly an ortf bar but i'm not sure. after seeing the price i didn't really bother with those details
