I'm using my MD along with my 909, and I couldn't be happier.  While
I 
like the 909 for it's classic sounds, NOTHING compares to the 
versatility of the MD.  I just got my MD, so I've only really 
scratched the surface of what it can do, and everytime I turn it on I 
find new possibilities.

I've never used a MnM, so I can't comment on it's use.  The MD gives 
you so many options without really overwhelming the user (that's a
big 
plus).  If you really like drums, I'd go with the MD.  If you just 
want some better tweakable sounds, but don't need the quantity of 
sounds the MD can produce, the MnM sounds like a more versatile
option 
in terms of all around production value.

Do you already have a bunch of synths you like?  How varied would you 
like your drums?  Those are the kind of questions you should concider.
