I agree AND disagree!
The trouble is that it's different, not better or worse in tone, just different. There are a lot of tonal options on them so I suspect you'll be able to coax a number of great tones out of it.
Depending on the model of MAG you have, then in theory the TE should also be more reliable, as it's older if it was likely to go wrong it will have done by now!
I can't see you being unhappy with it, but like I say it IS more of a case of it being different, not necessarily better or worse!
Cheers,
James
