I will state that after having used the Octomic next to an SPS200 I very pleased with the Octomic! Tonally the SPS200 is more musical and is my go to for recording VR musical performances but the Octomic is a good bit more detailed in its sound field and clearer with transients thus likely being a better candidate for ambiance. Here is a test I did a while back comparing the two. My suspicion is that the SPS200 could be improved with a calibrated A-to-B Format converter (example decoded using Harpex-X).
