Why Schoeps...?

Ps. It will be a great day in Italy when sound reinforcement companies will stop using 414 for grand pianos in jazz concerts and start using Schoeps microphones!
Hi,
I'm new to this forum, so I haven't read this old conversation before now.
May I ask: Why do you prefer Schoeps sound over DPA/B&K sound?
(I've always heard that DPA is the best for recording orchestras.)
