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.
