Hi OP. I'm not a fan of Martin's mod-v neck at all. Actually, I dislike pretty much all of Martin's modern necks. The only one I tolerated for a while was the MLO with PA taper neck... pretty much a medium thickness very soft v in 1st position, flattening out to a shallow C past the 5th fret up. But even that one I find not thick enough these days for my larger hands, so I have no Martins in my collection at the moment and don't foresee owning any in the near future either.
I love the older Martin necks...like the one on my choir director's 1970 D-35. Basically a rounded, medium depth C shape throughout the entire length. The 1 11/16 nut width is a problem, but that's a different story (I need 1 3/4 nut).
