I like this idea quite a bit. It would probably not be terribly expensive to rent/buy the required equipment, it would be easy to use and would not be terribly disruptive to the preceedings.
I'm curious, didn't you find that those mikes are too directionally sensitive? I've noticed that the movement of the speaker by just an inch or two can cause major variations in signal reception (I've only tried that little plastic parabolic eavesdropping "toy" that was all the rage about two Christmasses ago -- there was one floating around my office).
