any real benefit to higher monster power?

If you're a high paragon level, the only added bonus from MP levels is the bonus items. But I doubt the offset in time, since monsters have more HP, is worth the chance of a bonus item.

Not true either, mf + gf from MP stack beyond the 300% cap, bonus items also apply to EVERY single mob not including elites or bosses, so all those white trash mobs it applies to.

This being said act 3 is still going to be the best place because of all the mob density in the areas. As for the MP the guy a few posts back had it spot on. Whatever mp you can run efficiently and still pretty quick is going to be your best bet. Best guess from where my NON ww/nado barb is right now thats looking like act 3 MP 4-5

Yes true :P But seriously, MF doesn't increase the amount of items dropped. There has been quite a bit of research and it looks like the extra MF is barely worth it. The only thing you want at all times, are 5NV stacks. So I think the speed of ACT 3 - MP1, trumps the very small bonus of MP2 or higher.
 
Running mp7 on bot, or mp9 / mp10 by hand right now, and getting some good drops. only farming keys though.
 
yea but what if your character moves really quick, hmm hard to say whats best. Im doing mp2 now and have 60k unbuffed dps and innas set. I can survive higher, but not sure if its better for drops...
 
The machine is only useful if you want to use the ring to level alts. Otherwise, it's very shit.
 
I think it really depends on what your character can handle.

For example barbs are so bad kiling molten fat guys or shamans, that going A3 with them might not be a good idea.

On the contrary character like wizard or witch doctor with good gear are absolutely awesome against those.

How MP and MF works

300% base MF (Paragon and/or on gear, follower)
75% NV
250% MP
(25%) shrine

So with a shrine buff up you can run with 650% MF.

MF has indirectly to do with the count of rares, legs and sets.

The higher MF you have, the higher the chance is that a
- white drop becomes a blue drop
- blue drops becomes a yellow drop
- yellow drop becomes a leg/set

Shrines don't go over the cap they only contribute to the cap 625 is total max
 
so i have 1 bot on mp3 the other on 2 and so far the bot on mp 2 is kicking its ass as far as quality of drops. Prob will just change back to 1 so the runs are even faster.
