SoundField and CoreSound and also the recently discussed Oktava mics do full 3D sound, i.e. with Z component. This one would only do WXY, but if things end up being mixed for playback on 5.1 or 7.1 setups, the Z part gets thrown away anyway and is only useful for the archival master, just in case the material is still relevant by the time delivery with Z becomes useful outside a few specialized setups that don't really exist outside of some research labs.
As for the sound quality, that's exactly what I was wondering, and how this sub-thread started after some other microphones from the same company were mentioned here.
