I don't know how the MD3 compares to the MD4 but I use the MD4 (TC 6000) for my MS work corrective work.

For sweetening, a bit of S raised (+.2 dB on average) at selected frequencies with/without the K-unit is very effective.

As Lagerfeldt pointed out, some analog gear can make the program wider just by running through it. My Manley Mastering Vari-Mu with mods seems to be the box here with the most "magic". It needs no compression to affect the stereo field in a very positive way. I have had two other Vari-Mu units here and they did not sound as nice so I guess I've got a special one!
