I do agree with this (even though I work for Sennheiser as the day job) - I use the Rycote InVision mounts with my own MKH 8040 (they are about half the price of the Senn. mount).
But I also use the Rycote S-series XLR tail - this is a short, tin and flexible XLR cable that goes from the mic. through the cable grip on the InVision mount. This effectively decouples the mic. and prevents handling noise being transmitted to the mic. via the cable.
