They are 2 very different watches actually - I would say you have to have both!
The 1846 is too fine a watch to use as a beater, whereas the MD is much more sturdily engineered. That is not to say that the 1846 is delicate, but I would not want to put mine through too much abuse, as I just feel more protective towards it!
I had the pleasure of wearing a friend's MD for about a month (long story, and it was tough handing it back I can tell you), and I had the impression it was almost indestructible.
