I never liked the 5/9 - it wasn't an informative tool, whereas the 5/8 certainly was - if a spot mic was poking out, it told you straight and you were able to correct it confidently. The serious music assembly channel in Kensington House (TRU) had a pair of carefully sited 3/7s, and they both worked as monitors and sounded wonderful.
