I’ve not tried a Wizard with a contour knob, so the only way I got sag at all with the ones I’ve had is just having the volume knob up high enough, but I didn’t like it that way. I don’t really like the saturation knob high up on my MTL either. I agree that the hard punch is basically why I still kept my MTL these 6 years and I also like this aggressive, frosty quality it has in the highsYou can get them have a bit more sag and compression with the contour, which from what I understand affects the negative feedback, but even contour on zero smoothed out or compressed isn't a word I'd use to describe any Wizard I've played, maybe yours had an issue? Every one I've heard/played has a dynamic attack that hits hard, so much so I'd almost say thats the trademark character of a Wizard across the board that sets it apart from other Marshall lineage amps just like you can always spot a Fryette amp by their dryness/clarity.
