I bought one off ebay last month
I wanted a cheap way to build up a 96er so I picked one up. I was coming from a HORRIBLE Gila on my Trek 4300 and a (poory reviewed) 02 Psylo on my Enduro. So its safe to say that I wouldn't know a quality fork if you hit me upside the head with one. That being said here is what I notice about the MX Pro.
ETA is nice but on an 85 mm travel fork it doesnt help as much as I hoped on the climbs.
It has a nice quick rebound (compared to psylo) and feels much smoother on big compressions than small ones. Maybe it needs oiling, but when you slightly press on it it feels a bit sticky. Its only a few weeks old so maybe it will break in, dunno.
For under $200 with shipping I couldn't be happier. Certainly my friends who bought $600 Fox shocks are not 3 times happier than I am. If I knew how much I was going to love the 29er wheel I would have spent $400 on a reba that I could switch between 80mm and 100mm.
