It's significant that these are not only small-diapragm designs but also
_single-diaphragm_ designs. And let's not forget the Neumann KM 120:

Oddly I've never heard from anyone who has ever used it--and I've
asked around repeatedly. Here goes again: If anyone here has used
this microphone, could you please comment on its sound? I sometimes
use spaced (!) figure-8s for stereo vocal recording, and can imagine
that a response characteristic as shown in Neumann's diagrams might
be useful for that application, or at least worth trying.

Since you asked: I use a Neumann KM120 with a KM140. It sounds good to
me. But then I haven't had occasion to critically compare it with
anything else in its class.
