I like the john hardys as well, my fav setups have been:

km184 --> JH M1 --> tape
AKG 480 w/CK61 capsule --> JH M1 --> tape

one couple feet right in front of hte sound hole,
one aligned with the headstock pointing down the
fretboard to the 12th fret.

Manley Gold Reference - halfway between card & omni mode --> JH M1
this is if you have a good room & like warmer (slower transients?)
sound of a LDC

trouble i have is you get the perfect sound, then the
guitarist shifts & moves a few inches & the perfect
sound dissappears.

i really like the john hardy's, i'm surprised they don't
get mentioned more here.

john is a hella entertaining guy to talk to at aes shows as well
