Well lets see, two opposing views, but I might be more inclined to side with Rangeball on this one...

Disadvantages of MPS shock?:
1 it is expen$ive ---------becoming a nonissue with the rising cost of bleach

2 it is only an oxidizer and not a sanitizer----- already a nonissue because I am talking about shocking not sanitizing, naturally one would use chlorine for day to day sanitizing

3 it will show up as CC on a DPD or FAS-DPD test unless you use a special test kit (additional expen$e) --- this is a valid issue, but once I convert over to the other test procedure, costs should be about the same?

4 it can convert chloramines to nitrates which are algae food---- this is somehting that I do not know much about, nor have heard any convincing discussion one way or the other. If there is good evidence that PMPS increases the likelihood of algae formation, I would like the opportunity to read about it.

5 it is expen$ive------ get over it already.....

6 see number 4!---------ditto

7 it seems to work better with bromine than chlorine (but chlorine is STILL a better shock for bromine)--- probably but again a nonissue here....who uses bromine in their pool?

8, 9, 10, ------did that add anything to your argument?
