Does anybody run this $6k stereo mic?

Really cool looking mic that Doc Fob (his new-to-him toy) let me run for Set 2 of SKB last Friday (hyper setting).

The unscientific "comparison" to the AKG ck63s (which I ran for Set 1) is interesting, so I am posting a link to the BT in the kickdown here.
Pretty sweet mic! Check it out...and discuss.

i have only used the usm69 in the studio, but my, what a yummy mic - it yeilds a near perfect image in blumlein. a dream for small live ensembles, string quartets, etc. the similar akg c426b is also an outstanding mic.
