Default DPA 4011s as a ORTF main pair?

are the dpa 4011s (the cards) a good choice for middle diffuse field
main pair. or is the bass roll-off at a distance just too much on
these mics? the specs show them as flat in the near field (about 1
foot out), with fairly significant bass roll-off even at 1 meter out
(-10dB at around 40hz). i had a pair of schoeps cmc64s that were
balanced for the diffuse field (or so it seemed from my experience
with them), and of course they seemed quite boomy to me in the near
field, but they were a great ORTF pair between 10 and 20 feet. so, if
i am looking for a nice pair of mid-field mics (10-20 ft), are the
4011s a good choice, or would a pair of omni 006s be better? thanks.
