IMO, if your room is big enough ... go for the IIIas. They will give you better bass (as they're much bigger! :-)) ) and, again IMO, the true ribbon is something special ... although Mart, PG and several others on this Forum disagree!! :-))But how big is your room? I would have thought to get the best out of IIIas, you need to have at least, say, 20'long x 15'wide x 9'high. Any smaller and MMGs will do just as good a job! :-))
The other issue is, as you say, "hassle". From my experience with my own IIIas over 15 years, you need to do a lot to them to get them to deliver the sound which they are capable of. If you *don't* do this then a pair of MMGs - particularly with PG's "going over" - will probably deliver just about as much.
Good luck!
