How good is the 'Music Maker Classic'?

I have heard very good things about the new(ish) MM Classic. However, this has generally come from professional reviewers and retailers (both of whom might have vested interests). Has anyone bought or auditioned this cartridge at length and if so please let us have your impressions.

I hear that the silver coils increase the refinement of the Classic (including in the high end)over its earlier manifestations but would like objecitve impressions before making my way over to pick one up directly from the manufacturer. Issues such as it clarity; handling on bass, midrange and treble; its comparitive performance against any other notable cartridges that you're familiar with would be really interesting.

All help appreciated
