I enjoy my MGW. It serves my T5Z well. I haven't experience the others.

It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

^^ This sounds solid. I've never heard a single person complain about an MGW. I own a pro 5.0 and it is waaay better than the tri ax I used to have.

I have a Tri-ax because I can't afford an MGW. But if the money was there, I would buy the MGW. Tri-ax serves me well but the bigger issue is a dying syncro.
