I will have to say the MMV's voicing is similar but not as bassy as a 28 but it does give you a lot of bark for your dollar.
I went to the OM28V for the better even tone across the board and the nut width & "V" neck but I really missed the volume I go out of my MMV. Since I put mediums on the OM, its as loud as my MMV - so now the MMV sits idle.
Hope this helps, I don't think you'll be unhappy with your purchase.
Good Luck,
