To be honest I wasn't too fond of the C430's. They have no real low end to them, pretty bright all in. Great if you want to just capture cymbals in you OH's or use them as close mic's for china's or whatnot. Not alot of use for them other than that though.
Not used SM81's so I can't comment on them unfortunately.

Thats not a setup I've tried but I'll certainly give it a go. I've been much happier with my overhead sounds recently as I've bought a couple of sheets of plywood to put under the kit. Really helps give the drums more life.
