Omni - new mic or capsule

[Big Kenny]

I finally decided on the oktava mk012 matched pair( they're great on my Taylor 615 and my Songbird) I am now looking ot omni's. I would like to be able to use them for a bunch of different applications (acoustic, choirs, maybe cabs) would i be better off getting matched caps for the mk's or getting a couple of different mics altogether. Thank you gentlemen (and or not)

If you're getting what you like out of the Oktava's (noise floor, frequency response, etc) there's no reason you shouldn't stick with them.

Also, I'm sure new capsules would be cheap or at least cheaper...

Well, what are you wanting to get from the omnis? Usually you get an omni because you want no proximity effect or because you want to pick up all of the sound in the room. I certainly get good results on a choir with an XY pair of cardoid condensers, I couldn't imagine using omnis instead.
