| Front/Back isn't an issue, that's right. The L mic's rear points to the right, though, and vice versa.
What IS a problem is the area between the L mic's front and R mic's back lobe. Everything in that area will cancel out when played back mono. (and vice versa).
So if the L points to 12 o'clock (and rear to 6), the R points to 3 (rear 9), all sources between 3 and 6 and between 9 and 12 will disappear in mono.
A spaced pair of omnis will be better, if you choose the spacing to get an SRA of 180°. As they are sitting around a table, why not use them in a quasi-PZM setup.
