I tried this today with a pair of 121's on a 6' grand. I experimented with different configurations and found that my favorite was to actually reverse the orientation of the front and back mics...front mic (closest to hammers) fires up and down while the back mic goes side to side. It was a hair darker, but it sounded great for this instrument in this room.
I also tried having them BOTH pointing side to side, with Royer label pointing toward the low strings on the front mic and outward on the back mic. This was SUPER mellow and ambient...I will definitely be using these techniques again.
Thanks for sharing Bill!!
