I had an old MPX50, and didn't really care for it that much.
To really "see" the images, you had to hold the image just right to get the glimmer of light to reflect off it.
You also can not use it on any item that has a lip to it, where the engraving area is lower than an outer edge.
It did seem to take a long time to engrave, but I've heard the new ones are much faster and I believe a bit higher resolution.
YMMV

The only problem with higher resolution, is that you still have to tilt it just right to see the image.
There are one or two tricks that I keep to myself that makes it look right at almost any angle. When you get it to the old 'just right' angle it looks crappy though.

Some people are epoxy doming the output, which magnifies the image.
Still need to hold it at the appropriate angle for viewing though.
