As a diversion from what's going on, here are a few tracks from a chamber choir concert I performed in and recorded two days ago. For the audio people out there, I'm curious which mix you prefer.

There's 3 pieces in there, so your opinions may change with the others.
I actually matched peak levels with the two mix exports (but not RMS). Mix A is a 4-mic "phased array" modified from a setup by famous classical engineer Tony Faulkner: a pair of subcards with 110° opening angle 30 cm wide, flanked by a pair of omnis 50 cm. All 4 mic capsules aligned horizontally in phase. The idea is to get more "reach" of detail with a more distant placement.
B is the omnis alone. When recording close right behind the conductor, I usually I do some gentle EQ on these mics to reduce a designed presence boost centered on 12 kHz. I didn't do that for either mix because I set up farther back and boost compensates for it. With the EQ, the consonants become a little dull.
The subcard mics used in mix A have dead flat response.
