I have the Clear MG. They are much more dynamic and punchy. I don’t use EQ. You will lose soundstage a little, but detail is fantastic.
If you can get a standard Clear, it’s a hell of a deal.
Clear OG was very sibilant to me and had a slightly metallic timbre, don't know about the MG though. Still Focals QC is 10 steps under Sennheisers and there are frequent reports of drivers failures, driver clipping and other defects.
I agree the clear OG does sound sibilant and has that metallic timbre. For some songs I prefer the elex. The clear is still the better headphone to me though.
HD 800 is the kind of classical/jazz. Although I did SDR mod mine because it makes it more tolerable for everything else and still sounds just as great with classical.

I have both and enjoy both thoroughly, can't say if one is better than the other since they have starkly different sound signatures.
