No, the MMV is NOT a stripped down version of the D-28. It is a higher end version of the D-16R. It has the same bracing pattern and neck joint as the D-16R. The D-28 has a different bracing pattern and different neck joint.

I have played both. The D-28 has more bass but is not as bright. The MMV has more treble and is more even across the full tonal range but without the booming bass of the D-28. I preferred the tone of the MMV but that would depend on whether or not you want the bassy sound or a brighter sound.
