You would get better rejection using figure eights but other things come into play that you have to deal with. As you said, you need a "decent" room, and in this case I'd define "decent" as meaning good. You need a good room. This is not going to be an ideal option for most bedroom studios or for small room studios. The other consideration is what a mic sounds like. Not everyone is going to like their vocals recorded through a ribbon mic. If recording with two ribbons requires compromising the vocal track, it's a bad choice. I'm not saying vocals can't be recorded with ribbons; I'm simply saying it's usually not the best choice.
