I have one and it is fine. Good ohms reading, smooth... I had the MVP2 and yes, it is a bit heavier and brickish, but my MVP2s still go. My wife uses one of mine. I know the MVP2s got their share of abuse, but they are physically very solid in my hand. I don't have a "purse" to carry it around in, so I sit it down and drop it it more. I think the MVP, as a series, are built tough.
Hope helps
