Magnepan MMG or MG12?

I have enough to buy the MMGs now, but I am concerned that I will be left wanting and upgrade soon. Can anyone speak to the performance advantages and disadvantages of the MG12 vs the MMGs? Is it true that you get 90% of the MG12 by buying the MMG? I have the money for the MMGs now, but I will have to save a little longer to get the MG12. I will be driving them with a vintage Yamaha M-65 amp that is stable down to 2 Ohms...I think its rated at about 220 per channel at 4 Ohms. Thanks for your thoughts

MG1.6 are a bit more money, but probably represent the maximum performance/dollar point of the Maggie line.

Aaronr...For Maggies I would stick with new. They are a unique technology and not easily evaluated as to condition. But if you can, listen to MG1.6 along with the 1.2 and then you decide. Whenever I have bought equipment that was not really what I wanted I have become dissatisfied after a few years, and ended up buying again. When I bite the bullet, and buy what I really like I am satisfied for a decade, and in the end it costs less.
