Like DT said, you don't have to use the other mics.
But I would like to change the term "improved" to "natural".
I think that if there were a demand for it, there is already the
technology out there right now to allow the listener to choose which
mics/reverb/combination of such they would like to listen to. How hard
is it to just release a DVD version instead of CD and choose the
reverberation/mics just like you can choose the subtitles to a movie?
For myself, not being an audiophile, the important thing with mobile
recording is reproducibility. That is why I always use the same pair of
mics in the same configuration (coincident) at the same distance. Not
close to perfect by any means, but it means I can record nearly
anywhere and get more or less the same sound. Quick too.
