I don't have experience with the various Schoeps mics/capsules, but I've had a few different pair of omnis for home recording. The first pair were 3-Zigma with the free field omni capsules. That gave me some experience with omnis in my space (I'm using portable gobos, so it's maybe not as good as your treatment). I found out that I definitely like the omni sound. I sold the 3-Zigma pair and upgraded to a matched pair of Gefell M296S omnis. I didn't demo before I bought; renting or getting demo mics makes sense but I just went by recordings and feedback from folks with relevant experience. I did consider the Schoeps (which would have been pricier for the CMC6 plus the capsule) but I went with the Gefells because I felt they would be the mics to provide the most realism, which was my primary goal.
In any case, I'm really satisfied with my Gefell omnis.
