Ken,

I've not yet built an MMC, but I plan to build one soon, and install
it onto my TT-42 TC for comparison with the existing Maxwell cap.
I don't really expect to see any change in performance.  I'm basing
this on reports from others about the performance of their MMC caps.
Consider for example John Morawa's excellent TC which uses
MMC caps:

John's coil performs just as well as my TT-42 TC:
