Well I'm no expert on this but for an omni pair I think the 'next step up' from the Avensons are MUCH more expensive mics like Earthworks QTC1, Sennheiser MKH20 or the various offerings from DPA and Schoeps.
FWIW I've no idea why the original post attempts to compare the KSM32 which is a large-diaphraghm cardioid with the Avenson which is a small-diaphragm omni costing 1/2 the price? As some folks have already pointed out, we are talking about two totally different mics designed for totally different applications and to a totally different price-point.
