Sounds great to my ears. If anything, the piano is a bit distant. I do like that the choir is the clear lead part but I would try to move the piano slightly closer.
Your approach was very similar to mine.
This was my first stab at recording with mid/side and I remember when I had set the rough levels of the mid and the spaced pair mics and slowly raised the side mic. A true wow moment. For whatever reason Mike encoded the mid/side pair to a regular stereo track. So for you to try that out you have to decode the m/s stereotrack to seperate mid and side tracks and set it up properly in your daw.
During recording I also had xy and ortf mic setups experiment going. I had them at the same point as the mid/side pair but it was too close to be usable. It was a fun experiment though. The technique I usually use, xy, was the least impressive of them.
