Has anyone had a chance to try this mic?
How does it compare to a Rode Nt4?

Wrote a lengthy review of it on the blog part of my site, with some sample recordings:

Note re. Rode blimp - the BP4025 does fit into the blimp, but it's not a good idea to walk around for long with the mic mounted inside. The BP4025 has a head-heavy design, and the swaying motion of you walking can make it work its way loose of the suspension.
I recently acquired a BP4025 and love it to bits. It's way ahead of the NT4. The BP4025 is rich, sensitive (low noise) with a very pleasing stereo image. I bought it for a field recording trip to Cambodia and it proved to be ideal for the ambient recording I was using it for.
My NT4 sounds brittle and harsh by comparison.
