if you just want a stereo binaural file to hand over, you are probably better off with a binaural mic.
monitoring just one channel of the A-format is just listening to one of the capsules, which will be pointing in a particular direction. Or you could monitor the two front facing capsules and get quasi stereo. The advantage of A-Format is it picks up the full soundfield, so you can decide which direction you want your binaural render to be facing after you have recorded it.
