Kharma Midi Exquisite vs MBL101E

I wonder if anyone has heard both and offer their opinios on their comparisons? TAS raved about the Kharma (with the sub) and a few issues later suggested the MBL equalled and even exceeded the Kharma in some areas. Now the MBL is almost half the price of the Kharma combo. So is the kharma overpriced or the MBL underpriced?
