Artemus, you may also want to consider the Benz Glider. I heard it (the medium output model) on a friends MMF 7 and it was a significant improvement on my MMF 7/Eroica combination.
I went as far as to buy one but never used it, deciding instead to upgrade to a TNT Mk. 5 table and a ZYX Airy 1000 cartridge.
The MMF 7 was my table back into vinyl. I found it terrific! I had to spend significantly more (underline on "significantly") to "really" hear a difference. I wasn't displeased with the MMF 7, but you will hear a big difference in all the attributes that comprise sound reproduction with a more-expensive table and cartridge. However, in no way would I have the cojones to describe the MMF 7 as "crap".
Hammer, don't be insulted by that bullshit! It's like a bird taking a shit on your car, just wash it off.
