I was contemplating buying MP Bumblebee as my new classics Bumblebee because they are basically the same size. I decided to save money and stick with my Artfeather Bumblebee but I was close to pulling the trigger. I get what T is saying. Technically in terms of height and mass, he is right. MP is more of a designation than a "class". Sure they all scale off of MP-10 now, but it didnt start out that way. MP-01 thru MP-09 had no rhyme or reason to their heights. Just because takara finally figured out that scale does matter, doesnt make the term MP any less of a designation. MP basically means cartoon accuracy at at bigger size. But it just so happens that a mini bot in "MP" scale is the same height and mass as a standard deluxe class figure. The "MP" autobot cars just happen to be the same height and mass as your average voyager class figure. And the "MP" Soundwave just so happen to be the same height and mass as a barbie doll (cough cough) I mean standard ultra class figure. So anyways I totally get what T is saying.
Oh, I think we all get what Tsut is trying to say. But it is, even as you say, a matter of size, not scale. Class would even be more accurate than to use scale. Or even size as Dead Metal pointed out; sometimes a voyager like animated Bulkhead is deluxe sized (roughly the same height) even as the bulk clearly makes the figure a voyager.
