Hi Lowie
Thought I'd add my 2 pence worth:
I've used both the MS and the 416 before, on smallish indoor circuits, and although the MS felt better (sharper turn in, the 416 you could see flexing much more (inside rear wheel would lift sometimes!) and was a bit "lazier") I was always, and I mean always, faster with the 416 anyway!! With both that was running a 10.5 brushless! The thing to bear in mind is that the 416 was not just less stiff, it's designed all round for as much symmetry as possible, belts either side of the spur, pulleys equal offset, steering mounted through the centre point of the topdeck etc.
Not dissing Qatmix though, I too have heard most people find the MS better for 19t or stock (I heard somewhere a lot of team drivers use it for that too?), and like I said mine always "felt" quicker, I was never too good at coping with a twitchy tourer so maybe the best choice would be whichever suits your style best? They are both really well engineered kits!
