Prior to the mp, my favorite camera was the m6 0.85 and I also had an m3 upgraded to m6-style loading. In short, the mp contained for me the functionality of a somewhat rare model of m6 and a complicated conversion job on a long-discontinued model. Again, I am not a working professional (in photography) but this does not necessarily invalidate those things I appreciate in a fine camera. And the mp embodied many of those virtues.

Marketing nonsense, not tools for working professionals. -rei
