I've been avoiding Micromesh because, in my words, "It doesn't solve any existing problems." However, I was out of several grits of wet-dry paper, and the price to replace them would be close enough to the "Regular" pack of MM I decided to give it a shot.
After doing a couple of PR pens and a couple of wood pens with it, here are my findings:
*Lasts longer than paper. I usually get 2 pens out of a 4x4" square of w/d paper. I did 2 with the MM and found no change in how it works.
*Doesn't discolor exposed wood.
*The foam pad is nice.
So while I still don't find MM to be essential, I like the cost effectiveness and the not darkening exposed wood (under the bushings, etc). So the bang for the buck is there. But as far as the final finish... Not much difference between the MM and the 400-600-800-1000-2000 schedule I've been doing.
