Having compared them directly, it's really hard to go wrong with either. The each work just as well as the other in my experience.
SVD has a higher price-of-entry though since you'll also need a decent battery or two and a charger to go with them. If you don't already have them, it might make more sense to get an MVP. You'll also get 10-14 hours out of an MVP more easily than with an SVD.
I don't have advice, but I'm following this thread so I can see the answers. I'm currently in the same boat, and have been thinking about buying the MVP 2 for $40 - such a good deal!![]()
TXCherry, at $40 for the MVP 2, I don't think you can go wrong. If it turns out to be awful (highly doubtful), for the cost, you can give it away or trash it and not lose a lot in the process.
FearTX, The biggest thing with the MVP 2 will be the box shape, it does take some getting used to if you currently use a tube shaped battery. I just got the VTR and I am finding it difficult to figure out the most comfortable way to hold it. If you can deal with that, the MVP 2 is probably the best thing going right now. LOTS of folks love their MVPs!
Bit the bullet and bought the MVP2. Now to stalk the mail man....
