As far as which version is "better", it's an endless debate; i find that most of the different revs whether it's mks, mini or prophet really don't sound that much different, minor differences. Better to decide based on other factors.
no kidding? i always figured that "open your heart" era madonna was all dx basses. never really thought about it much, but now that you mention it...
