There's a Rode NT4, anything else? Thanks in advance!

two going on ebay for 399.
Easy and rugged.
Rode makes a very nice mic. Audio-Technica also makes a couple. Google "AT8022". Either one would make a nice mic. Shure makes the VP88, which is a mid-side stereo mic, and may or may not meet your needs. I don't know for sure if Sennheiser does, but you could google "Sennheiser stereo microphone" to find out.
You might instead consider one of those small, hand-holdable stereo digital recorders like Sony, Marantz, Olympus, Tascam, Edirol, and others make. Mics and recorder in one handy package. Many, if not all, have mic stand mounting capability.
Regarding the "90 degree angle" you mentioned. That's more of a starting point than anything else. The appropriate angle between capsules depends on several factors, including size of the ensemble, distance from it, desired stereo "spread", the specific pickup pattern of the mics, etc.
The ORTF approach was intended to standardize the recording setup used by the ORTF broadcasting organization, but in practice, spacing and angle can vary quite a bit. Your experiment sounds like it suffered from the "hole in the middle" problem. As with XY, the best positioning is the result of many of the same factors.
Given your desire to have a setup that's easy and quick, I'd avoid using two separate mics. On the other hand, I ALWAYS use two separate mics for stereo, because I want and need the positioning control offered, as noted above.

Actually you would be able to use different stereo mic techniques
by purchasing two high quality condensor mics.
Matched pair as well.
Good suggestion. Is there a Stereo bar that will put them at the 90 degree angle? I'm a player and record rehearsals that I'm playing in, so I need simplicity, and no guess work.
I once tried something similar to the ORTF flare, but found it emphasized the outer inst at the expense of those in the middle. Thanks in advance!
…a middle&side set up?
They are getting quite popular for stereo recordings.
but you'll need to record 3 tracks for M/S
Actually you only need to record two tracks - Create the third track in your DAW by copying and inverting phase 180 degrees.
Three most important things in Audio reproduction: Keep the noise levels low, the power high and the room diffuse.
All kinds of mounts
The studio projects LSD2, but have not used one, so can't cooment on sound.
