I tend to run mixes with dual wedges angled inward and spaced anywhere from 6-12" apart. Accounting for the rear lobe of a supercardioid mic, this would, in my opinion, position the aim of the wedges directly inbetween the front and rear lobes. Even with the wedges positioned in this manner, the Beta's are worse to deal with than a standard 58.
