Well everything you said was correct. I love the attack 1 mic gives inside, but I also like the boom one gets from micing the kick outside. By defined I mean you get to hear more aspects of the kick; you get a bigger picture...you hear the attack and boom. I can understand though that 2 mics may give off TOO much information and could hog up the frequencies in a mix. Though it seems once I solo the FOK the kick sounds weak and thin. With it, the kick sounds full...I guess I like that low end rumble.
