I've tried both, too. MTG was revolutionary when I first found out about it b/c it worked. However, it had NUMEROUS downsides. It has a strong bacon/smokey smell (that is bearable but not sexy); you have to purchase 50-11 products/oils to mask the smell; it's oily and leaves a residue everywhere you lay your head; it has a propensity to run down your neck and face if you're too heavy handed (which is easy to do-and the running happens at work usually, lol); many reported it to be irritating to the skin (it was for me too); and it changes the color of costume jewelery (based on others' reports).
