I'm loving this thread as I am considering both units as well. Although, the trip to New Holland, PA is a short one for me, I still want to want the best choice possible the first time. Lang's look very nice!
The MC120 has a little bit bigger cooking area and I like the slide out shelves and fire box. Again, the trip to PA is a lot shorter than GA.
This is really sad, but, when we were up at the New Holland contest earlier this year, we stopped by the show-room store for MC. The guy told us that they were offering 5% discount for the contest event.
And, here is the real kicker: My wife says, "Go ahead and get one now. Get it with the BBQ26 chicken cooker (as we had just had some of the chicken cooked on a larger cooker at the contest and she loved the chicken) and, you might as well add the PR60 Pig cooker." I was so taken back by this, I had "buyers remorse"! And I hadn't even purchased anything!!!!
Oh well, I'm think I'm glad I didn't at the time as I still need to learn as much as I can before that big of a purchase. That's a lot of cash!!!!!!
Please post your thoughts on your new smoker; I'm listening!!!
Congrats!!

I am cooking on mine now and absolutly love it, no buyers remorse from me. Its built like a tank and was surprised that even with it being only 35 degrees out it only took 30 minutes to get up to 225 degrees.
I put 3 oven temp gauges on the racks, one the very left corner and one very right corner of bottom grate, the last on the center of the second grate.
Temps were 225 bottom left, 250 bottom right and center top was 300. Lid temp showed 250.
It was quite even but still had the perfect amount of change so I could easily move meat around to even up cooking time.
I also love how I can pull the grates all the way out and still load them out. Fit and finish is A+ IMO.
Will be eating some chicken off it soon.
