Are you referring to the 000-MMV? The MMV is a dreadnought and IIRC is the same size as the D-28, the difference being the internal bracing, neck joint and various minor cosmetic differences. Personally I think the MMV has a better tone than the D-28 and even the HD-28. The reason being that the A frame bracing is structured in such a way that the lower bout is freer to vibrate. YYMV though.
FWIW I tried a 000-MMV recently. It's a nice guitar for the money but I'm reserving judgement since I have no GAS for a rosewood OM. OTOH I'd be curious to A/B one against an OM-21 or 000-28EC.
