Abe, just to give an example (perhaps not to be taken as a generality): I have two tables, one with a Soundsmith-retipped Shelter 501 Mk II and one with a Grado Reference Sonata1 (actually an MI). On LPs that tend toward the bright, hyper-detailed side, I prefer the Grado. It smooths and rounds out the sound very nicely while still being revealing AND very "musical."
On LPs that tend to be more neutral or darker in sound, I prefer the Shelter. It adds detail, air and a touch of sheen to the treble range.
I think you'll find that a good MM or MI will flesh out the sound vs. a good MC, which will tend to emphasize detail (again, speaking in broad generalities). I wouldn't really want to be without one of both.
I believe those who profess MMs to be inferior by nature are the same ones who prefer a highly detailed sound that favors the upper frequencies. But there are truly great examples of both types.
