I have a MMr and my buddy has a MM, i have played both extensively and while i don't really think one plays better than the other they do feel slightly different to me. The classic game has that softer flipper feel of a traditional BW game. The MMr feels a bit snappier to me, not exactly like a new GZ or JP, but more crisp. I can see valid arguments for both, so IMO this really just comes down to personal preference.
