I am very interested in this discussion. While I have not yet played an MT2, I would like to, and I too noticed the MT2V that appeared briefly in the classifieds. I can say that my MT I find a bit brighter and louder than my Pava, with more of a v-shaped neck, which I prefer. The Pava is a bit darker, more hollow sounding, with a u-shaped neck that has more meat in the shoulders. If I were to recommend another A-style in that price range, it would probably be another Austin instrument by Stefan Passernig if you can find one. Mine kind of combines the feel of the MT with the tone of the Pava in one heady package.
