I have a MD 2 for each of my bodies and they stay on all the time. I like the feel of this package--makes for an excellent grip in the street and provides for more stability/rigidity on the tripod. I don't actuate the motor all the time, or even often, though there are times (again, in the street, usually) where I'll fire off the entire roll if there's action (for example someone's face, kids at play) in front of the lens.

I first owned a Winder. It was okay. The Winder 2 is big improvement. I've a couple of those around here and bought one for my daughter as well. Never owned the original MD so I can't say how much difference the torque is since they installed the motors in opposition--likely significant, though, as there is z-e-r-o torque on the MD 2.

All in all I doubt I'll ever go out without a drive on one of my bodies ever again. I see no purpose in that, I see loads of purpose of having one attached.
