Spacing and Panning Omni Main Pair

Having used ORTF cardioids as my main pair for a couple of years, I would like to try omni microphones in a spaced A-B pair configuration. I’m hoping to get a fuller sound. The chamber ensemble I record gives concerts where the size of the ensemble varies from piece to piece – from trios on up to baroque orchestras of a dozen or so musicians – all on the same concert.

Plugins

I was wondering that if you have a very good plugins bundle with great EQ's, Compressors, Reverbs, etc. Why woild you have the same as outboard gear. This question might seem stupid to some of you, Im just a newbie.

Woudnt it be enough with the plugins, if not, what would be the difference between these? Do they both have different uses?

thanks

Is this a mixing or a mastering issue?

Due to the everlasting budget-problem, I have to master most of my work myself.
When mastering, I first listen to the mix on various systems, and make notes on the sound.
Allmost everytime I find the mix lacking highs from about 4k. This is confermed by the Waves PAZ analyzer, showing a gentle rolloff in the high frequenties.
