I might get flamed for this, but I think the MM OT/choke upgrades are a bit of a waste. I do commend MM's marketing folks for making this as popular as they are. Lots of techs have made $$$ offering this to those chasing tones in their heads.

I've done the OT/choke upgrades to 2 different amps: a Marshall DSL and Peavey 5150. The changes are very subtle....mainly tightening up the bass, maybe a bit more clarity. Nothing groundbreaking. The MM choke changed the feel too much for me....made my amps feel too tight, and not fun to play. I guess if you're into Djent, they're perfect.

I think the stock trannies are more than adequate in the RM100s, and the MM ROI would be very minimal. If I blew one, I'd consider the MM replacement, but not as an upgrade.

As usual, IMHO, YMMV, etc etc.
