Hi Justin, I've found TetraMic to be really too noisy for "quiet" (rural birdsong, etc) field-recording environments. It's really good for urban noise and regular outdoors things, but the noise floor is just too high to use in quiet places.
The Soundfields seem to be quieter, judging from some recordings I've heard, but it would be nice to try a side-by-side comparison some time...!
