Why do you like the MP "a lot better?" If you liked the MP "a lot better," why haven't you gotten rid of your Mark V Field and gotten another MP?

It's never a good idea to use an internal tuner with an amp.

External meters are generally best, but the internal meters are useful 
enough when trying to get an idea of what you SWR is or a general idea 
of your output power.
