Ditto, love my VTR...
The MVP's battery is built in. Once your battery reaches is life cycle, so does your PV. The VTR doesn't have that issue. But, it's a fingerprint magnet and despite not being much larger than a pack of short stinky's, it's pretty dense. It weighs more than my 134. My wife dropped her VTR on the sidewalk and it's got some scratches now. Most of them could be buffed out. I didn't see the chrome completely breached and the device works fine. I'd recommend a wrap for it as well. The price point is a plus with the MVP. If it works as a pass-through device that may be a pro for you. It can also be used to charge other devices which may be a plus for you. Personally, I'd let my cell phone die before my PV. And pass-through is pointless if you keep charged batteries at hand.I looked at the MVP too....and thought the same thing. That being said is the VTR worth the extra $$?
Only thing I have noticed, is the yellow light comes on at 3.7v. This is true on my SVD also. Now I usually charge at 3.6 anyways, but it would be nice if the warning didn't come on quite so early.

The yellow light comes on when it drops to 50% battery life. Volts range from 3.2 (Dead) to 4.2 (Fully charged). So, 3.7 is 50%. Green is 50-100%, yellow is 25-50%, red is 25% and below
Not trying to be contrary, but I weighed both of mine (without any tanks or batteries), and the 134 was slightly heavier than the VTR. I'm at work so I can't re-weigh them at the moment, and can't remember exactly what the ounces/grams were. They are BOTH heavy though! lol.
