XY has very poor localization characteristics
The XY method is not mono compatible
MS can give a better high frequency response to sound sources directly in front of the array
XY is only good for sound sources with a wide large strero image
MS does not require the use of condensor microphones

You will get severe phase cancellations in the 4Khz to 8Khz range
You will get a hole in the center of your stereo image
You will get a better low frequency response
You will narrow your stereo image
You will create a swirling vortex of death

None of these are near coincident
You will end up with a mono signal
You will get a hole in the center of your stereo image
You will get phase cancellations in the 300Hz - 400Hz range
You will have to phase reverse the left channel

2 Unidirectional mics, a 6 inch spacing, 130 deg. angle
2 cardioid mics, no space between the mics, 90 deg. angle
2 Bidirectional mics, no space between the mics, 90 deg angle
2 bidirectional mics, 8 inches of space between the mics, 0 deg. to the source (facing straight forward)
