Don't record in pairs, i.e., evaluate just a single mic, i.e., one of each on each stand, placed with the capsules as close to each other as possible, aimed the same way. It should give you a better comparison of how each mic sounds because they'll be recording the same thing. Adjust gain at the interface to make the levels close and then normalize the recordings maybe to a peak of -1dB, or some LUFS, like -17dB, if you want to compare dynamic range differences.
