You can of course program drum sounds on the MnM very easy and do 
some crazy percussive stuff with it with the parameter locks but the 
MD is still your best choice for drummachine alone. It has a lot of 
special drumsynth's and it's OS is made specially for creating drum 
patterns so you will get results easier on it. Also the MD can do 
some crazy synth stuff too! Best choice is to buy them both but I 
understand if that's over budget.

It just depends what you're looking for...
If you want the best possible drummachine buy the MD.
If you want some extra drumsounds and have a hell of a synth with it 
you could settle for the MnM.
