The easy button for compression is "as much as possible until the tires start to slide when that corner is moving in compression." For OTS MCS doubles you will probably end up at or near full stiff compression IMO (get me dyno plots and I can give you some recommended starting points).
Remember, shocks act in both compression and rebound. Why limit yourself to tuning only half of the shock's motion?

Agreed on having the adjustability for sure! I am not sure that running close to full stiff is the way to go. Having run MCS in 2 diff cars, we were running closer to 5 clicks from soft in dry running 800lb springs. For rain, dial down to 2. (Heavy E46 M3). I dont want to open up a can of worms 'however' one good thing about MCS is the support. They are there when you need it!
At Road Atlanta, I met this incredible engineer from MCS (Wyatt) who had a spec sheet and had me go out and see how the car behaved. We discussed the behavior of the car and noticed how it jumped a bit mid-corner. A click down on compression, keeping data and off we went to a completely dialed in car. 2 days later, we had a detailed setup for diff tires for that car! AWESOME customer service.
I highly recommend MCS. With remotes if you are running softer springs as the external can is worth some 80lbs of spring force (with the nitro set to 250psi). I am certainly going to get one for the FRS once I have clarity with the rules (Nasa TT) for next year.
FYI prior to the MCS DA on the E46 M3 we had Koni singles and let me tell you, there is NO comparison. The tires are pinned to the pavement even when jumping gators.
