I'm looking at the specs for the MVP and the Spinner 1300 other than VW and a 2600 battery I'm not seeing a lot of difference. The Spinner seems to be regulated so it stays where you set it till it runs out of juice.
Looking at em side by side I'd say the Spinner would be the better option just based on what I've seen a 650 X2 last me most of a day so the 1300 will more than do the job I'd say.
But if I were the expert I wouldn't be here now would I lol
What do you guys think I should go with the Spinner 1300 or the MVP

The MVP is variable wattage as well as variable voltage. Variable wattage is like a set and forget type of thing. You set the wattage you want to vape at and as you switch clearos/cartons of different resistance, it keeps you vapeing at the same place. Also, as you use clearos/cartos, etc the coils gunk up and the resistance changes slightly. This will lower or raise you voltage as needed that's the best I can explain it.

Just for clarifications sake, the MVP is only VV, while the MVP2.0 is VV/VW.

I have three 1300 Spinners and I love them with one exception. The first one I bought crapped out at about 3 1/2 months. The others are still going strong but none of them are 3 1/2 months old yet. I'm hoping my other Spinners last a little longer. If they don't then I will be looking seriously at the MVP2 from Smokeless Image.

I like what the MVP2 has to offer but for now my 1300 Spinners are keeping me satisfied.

Quick thought, YMMV. I still have an old x2 650. It lasts me almost a full day. My first spinner was a 650, an it seemed to only last about 1/2 a day give or take. I currently have 3 1300 spinners. While I love them, I only get slightly more life out of it than the 650, which is now just a back up and for dry burning. In general an x2 650 will last longer than a vv 650, for a few reasons. Of course, I am not an engineer. I am just going by unscientific observation.

Sitting down, facing forward.
In terms of a 1300 Spinner versus an MVP, if total size, battery capacity, makes a difference the MVP is the way to go. It is a little over double the capacity of a 1300 Spinner. The form factor can be a problem though if you're not a fan of "box" shapes.

A Spinner battery of the same size as an X2 battery will not last as long as the X2 battery. This is a function of the electronics used to achieve the variable voltage feature of the Spinner. Electronics are required to boost the voltage above the actual terminal voltage of the battery. Those circuits use power from the battery, by themselves, plus boosting the voltage above the actual terminal voltage requires additional power. The end result is that a Spinner will drain any given size battery faster.

The X2 is a regulated battery. The regulator actually reduces the terminal voltage of the battery down to a nominal 3.7 volts. Keep in mind that almost all e-cig lithium batteries come off a charger at 4.2 volts. The regulator uses extremely low amounts of power to operate and does not really impact power drain. That allows a regulated battery to outlast a similar sized variable voltage, or variable wattage, battery.

This is all probably more than you really need to know and I hope I didn't bore anyone, LOL.
