Love it. Fit and finish is top notch and it performs as advertised. It is chunkier but maintains a premium feel. I have the 2021 Omni and I would recommend the MVS before the Omni 21 or 17. The MVS air control is more elegant making it superior.
One of my older caps has a reduced click noise. When shaken, it's noticeably fainter than my new captive cap. Is there anythihg I can do to it or just retire it? I've combusted a few times due to not hearing it properly...not myself, the cap.

No worries. I simply found a block of suitable wood, I used done oak I had but more exotic wood be good. Measure to ensure correct for your stem and cap length....
Good stuff...the muted cap now has the loudest clicks of the lot!
Sadly I am finding several of my caps are being dented by the pressure switch on my Pipes IHs. That reduces their clickability in sound and function. If I were to replace one of the IHs for some reason, I think I would look for one with a different trigger...One of my older caps has a reduced click noise.

Seems caps develop their singular characteristics “over time”.
While it is possible that there may be a speck or residue under the discs that is muting the click (have you tried torch cleaning the cap?), you should “over time” have build up a collection of TEDs. Just swap it out.
Its an unpleasant experience “over time”, otherwise? YMMV
Or get another cap. Well worth the few bux.
Everything is finite. Caps can be too.
Damn, I almost forgot this was coming.
They are very similar if not the same I cooling. I have both a Vortex and a Stinger too. I like the MVS more purely because you can close the airport off. I like the weight and feel of the Vortex more but when it come to cooling all three are very similar. With that said, you should get an MVS.
I wanted to add that this problem likely only applies to his older units. On the current line Pipes has changed the trigger to a flat button that shouldn't dent the cap. Gonna have to make some changes to mine to resolve my issue but I haven't yet gotten to it.
Bought a high temp, food grade cookie sheet to mod the buttons on the PSM and Cauldron. The wife found it and won't let me "destroy" her new cookie sheet. Have to draw the line somewhere, this women has to go.
You only need a tiny bit from the corner, right? Cookies don’t go to the corner of the sheet…Bought a high temp, food grade cookie sheet to mod the buttons on the PSM and Cauldron.

I have given away 3 Vottex that I loved and now I have two MVS and a Stinger. The Stinger and Vortex are very similar. But the ability to customize airflow with the MVS’ airport makes it abetter IMO.
