Is the Typhon worth about $8,200 more than the MMS?

Only if you would otherwise buy or rent several attachments. The Typhon's 12 attachments and enclosed cab carry most of the price gap. If you need just a bucket and thumb, the MMS covers the basics for far less.

The Typhon lists a 2,100 mm (6.9 ft) dig depth. MMS does not publish a dig depth for the MS15P, so the Typhon is the only one you can plan around on paper.

Which is easier to move between jobs?

The MMS is lighter at about 2,162 lb, so it fits smaller trailers. The Typhon at 1.8 ton needs a heavier trailer and tow vehicle, though its retractable tracks help once you are on site.

Can I use the MMS for trenching and concrete breaking?

Not without buying attachments. It ships with a hydraulic thumb gripper only. The Typhon includes a 200 mm trencher and a concrete breaker.

There is no real track record for either. The Typhon's Kubota D722 is a known engine with a stated 10,000+ hour lifespan and easy parts access. The MMS engine is not specified, so its long-term support is harder to judge.

An enclosed cab matters if you work in rain, cold or dust, or run all day. The Typhon has one; the MMS is open-station with an adjustable seat.
