Do you mean the fact that they are forward-facing arrays and not full
surround? If so, something like Rich Peet's cube mic array might be
worth considering.
Blumlein is great in concert halls, but to my way of thinking, maybe
not the best for natural soundscapes -- at least if you're hoping to
capture good directional cues.
Also, regarding ORTF vs MS, there are many good reasons to prefer MS,
but ORTF captures important time-arrival differences between Left and
Right that help give a sense of space. I don't believe MS can do that.
(Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.)
