I’ve read a few times the MC is a hot rodded Jubilee. Would a boosted Jubilee get me 80-90 percent there?

Having had both, several times each.
No.
The Wiz is way more open, percussive, expressive.
Love the Wiz. Don't like the Jubilee at all.

There is some Jubilee DNA in the Wizard, but that't where it ends. Very different sounding amps.

Nope.
Wizard has a hollow midrange, even compared to the darker Jubilee. I had a 2010 MC100, with the C transformers that are/were the most Marshall-like. Still hollow in the mids, but much better than the MTL.
The power section of any Wizard is what really sets it apart though. Only amps that compare are old early 70s Superleads, vintage HiWatts, and others that have PV in the 500+ range. I found I could use an upper mid flavor boost pedal and get some better mids in the Wizards but they still lacked that midrange that I like.

This is kind of like saying the SLO and recto sound the same because of the shared circuit - whatever the case, they DON'T sound the same.
Both great, but different
