Excellent point, Jim.  For many shacks, that can make a good deal of 
difference -- and if we were to bullet-point of list of mic attributes in 
order of importance, directivity would rank well ahead of frequency 
response.

EV's choice in making the '635A an omni probably had a lot to do with its 
extensive use as a "reporter" type of mic where you would want something 
more forgiving off-axis when you're pushing the mic back-and-forth during a 
news or sports interview.
