He didn't say, but I'd think there is a lot of credence to what you're saying about it being mellower.
The ceramic MFD is known for its biting aggressive nature in the L Series and SB-x basses. Less so with the Ms, but it's still there. This is a whole 'nother beast wrapped up in the same covers, so it remains to be seen how people view it.
You're the vanguard, Jim!
