Although, Doug & Michael Watts has proven that you can closer mic with ORTF without the omni like cap using cardiods. The key might be that the ORTF placement misses the majority of the sound hole air movement. I would like to experiment with a reverse ORTF...so that I am pointed towards the sound hole in a spaced pair but still at that 8 inch spacing.

You'll definitely get more room in the mix from less directional mics, but you'll also get a less pronounced proximity effect. I think that's the real key. You can cozy up to the guitar a lot more without the excessive low end build up that a cardiod would exhibit.
I encourage you to experiment. You never know where it will lead. Keep your mind (and ears) open & have fun with it.
