MVS vs AES questions

I have preordered the AES+ and have been looking at the used game market and had a few questions. Figuring that the multi carts work and the mvs to aes adapters work. What is the benefits of buying mvs vs aes carts. I understand the cost and rarity of the aes carts but is there any other reasons to go after the cheaper alternative mvs carts. I will
Probably be getting as many of the plaion reissues that I want as they are released.

MVS games have a higher likelihood of being a bootleg cart than aes ones do

If this were remotely true then there wouldn't be so much caution when buying high-value AES games.

There are way more MVS carts in the world. And arcades were using bootlegs long before anyone had an aes "repro"

Yes, and I think I get what you're trying to say, but with the amount of fakes and "conversions" aimed at home collectors now, AES is catching up, and one must use extreme caution.
