Ribbon for classical guitar

I am recording classical guitar using a Schoeps CMC641 through the
Metric Halo ULN2 and am pleased with the result, except that I
sometimes would have liked the sound to be a tad softer and warmer. I
remember to have read that a ribbon mic might be the way to go, and
now I would like to try one.
Which particular ribbon mic(s) would you recommend for classical
guitar? Considering Beyerdynamic in particular, which of the three
models M130, M160 and M260 would be more suitable for the instrument?
They're all good, and they are all different. I don't know what your
room is like and I don't know what your instrument and style are like,
so how can anyone recommend the microphone for you?
You need to go try some. All three are good but all three are different.
I tend to grab the M160 first, but Paul Stamler tends to grab the M260
first. The M130 is voiced to sound very much like the M160, but it's a
figure-8 so it has a deep null which can sometimes be handy.
