If you've got a good relationship with your Yamaha dealer, I'd suggest taking your SMS-1 and mic into his store and giving it a whirl on some other gear there - Yamaha and/or another brand. I suspect the "geeky gadget" appeal of the SMS-1 will help make the experiment appealing to him, and he might be able to help you with the receiver without getting himself stuck.
