Nate,
This is probably the most often asked question. But unless the MG is a
total rag, the chances are that a decent Spitfire will be cheaper. Not to
mention the fact that they are easier to work on the engine. You should be
able to pick up a late model Spitfire driver in the 1500 to 2000 range.
Where as the "project grade" MG will be in this same price area.
