Just speaking for myself, I don't think a dynamic is the better choice for a room mic, but he only has 2 mics...1 condensor and 1 dynamic.
In that context, for acoustic guitar, the condensor will "probably" sound better as the main mic.
The recommendation to use the dynamic further back as a room mic was to avoid newbie phase problems...I am sure you know that using both mics in close proximity will open the door to that problem.
I think the DI and the room dynamic could offer a little flavor and wider panning and effect options at mixdown...but the condensor would be the main mic to get right....yes, aimed somewher toward where the neck meets the body about a foot away.
