MC vs MC II vs MTL questions.

I'm pretty sure I've decided to pull the trigger on a Wizard. I demoed a MC and the feature set of the MC II fits my needs better. So, I'm considering an MC II. However, the MC I tried had a "C" transformer and the MC II comes with a "V" transformer which Rick says is the smoothest one to date. I'm trying to get away from smooth so this concerns me a bit. So, I've PMed a couple people on this forum and the "V" transformer and MC II in general, while good, is coming in second place to the MC and other transformers. Now I'm really confused.

So:

1. What is the consensus on the MC II compared to the MC? Transformer differences?
2. Where does the MTL come into the tonal picture? Is it just a MC with scoop, saturation and depth controls or is it voiced completely different?
