However, the MP brush is very pricey. The brush on the right was gifted to me earlier this year and I think it’s just as good as MP and not as costly. I do like the look of the MP more- the lacquered handle and red paddle. The MP brush I have is also larger. But otherwise, in hindsight, knowing about both of these brushes, I think I’d go with the one on the right and save the nearly $200. There just is not enough of a difference between the two to justify it.
