Anyone know about this horn? It was listed for about $5000 a month or two ago, and now it's down to about half that. Are people passing it up with good reason, or might this be worth looking into?

This looks like an MMTU-1000.

My teacher told me that he tried the MM-200, which appears to be based off the 186 design, and told me great things about it. I've been meaning to try these horns out, and I think I will very soon.

If you want a Chinese Mira 186 copy, talk to Roger Lewis over at WWBW about an Allora or a closeout Dalyan. You'll get a horn that has reviewed consistently better and a quality retailer standing behind it. Nothing against the MM, but they seem to be an enigma more than anything. One TubeNetter has one:
