| Go For it
DP seems like you should just go for it. Find a loud and robust powered speaker. I suggest a PA speaker rather than a studio monitor. You don't need extended frequency response. Mackie have some very nice ones. SRM 450 if I recall correctly.
Omni will probably have the more open sound, and again you don't need extended frequency response. Lexicons start their roll offs at 2K! So an omni dynamic would be
ideal I reckon. I would say it matters little, the Cello chambers with the SM57's are really good, long, clean and bright, with not nasty colours. They appear to be a small damp stained unused basements. Try your lookalike microphone, made by one legged blind orphans, working 27 hours a day, if you must, but you will suffer in the next life.....
I am sure the microphone noise will be a problem though.
Try handclaps in there, if you find any obvious twanging flutters, kill them by hanging blankets or whatever, and avoid putting the source or mics in those areas. You will have fun, and please do get someone with Altiverb to sample it for the worldl to enjoy.
