oops, let me correct my muddled and misleading comments about ORTF, I was in too much of a hurry to get to the fun stuff (MS).
XY is "coincident", capsules physically as close as possible, 90 degree angle.
ORTF is "near coincident", 110 degree angle, capsules 17cm apart, about the same distance apart as your ears.
XY is perfectly in phase, ORTF is less so, but that's OK, the phase differences are part of what creates the wider stereo image. Both techniques in theory should use identical mics, cardiods, so your LDC/SDC combo isn't really right for either one. But never let theoretical rules get in the way :-)
