Sorry to hear that you are leaving the Transparent camp!
I'm an XL MM2 owner, tweaked to match Dev/Magico S5s. Over the years I've had Transparent, then MIT, then Synergistic and now back to Transparent (also dabbled with Cardas and Siltech).
All great wires but I do like the solidity and soundstaging of Transparent and the unforced but detailed top end. They are truly great cables, expensive to buy into but you get 70% of your investment back if you move up a model or upgrade to newer version. You may not believe that a wire can influence things, but I've heard enough to be a believer. Must be these big network boxes - which are a pain in the ass when you stub your big toe on them! Trial and error to get the right system matching is key.
Hope you find your ideal cable - remember that the Devs and the Sashas will not appreciate bell wire!
