Has anyone in Oz made a variable pattern mike with a Microphone Parts RK12 and would be willing to lend it to me for a couple of weeks? I can promise at least a detailed report.
I made detailed measurements of Zephyr's CK12 mike (from WGT IIRC). The results are in Yahoo MicBuilders Files as Zephyr.pdf

You have to join. It's not bad but there are a few things which could be better .. notably the fig-8 response.
There's some evidence that the Microphone Parts RK12 won't have this fault but I need to get my paws on a complete mike to confirm this.
Another capsule I'd like to look at (in complete variable pattern mike form) is the Transound TSC-2 though this is a K67 type. Not on the JLI website http://www.jlielectronics.com/ but available from them for a phone call or email.
JLI are US agents for Transound and will ship small quantities anywhere in the world.
Eric Benjamin has measurements in Cardioid mode in the same MicBuilders directory above .. which suggest this doesn't have the slightly wonky fig-8 response either.
