As one of the first owners on the forum who went with MCS (2WR), looking back on my decision I would definitely use MCS again (I have them on my S54-powered 330Ci track car using the 2WNR variant). I went with the 2WR on the NSX as I was prepping the car for track duty. The remote canisters give you some track-worthy features that non-remote designs do not. In addition to adjustability of compression and rebound you get:
1) Ability to adjust nitrogen pressures to aid in fast cornering or low grip traction scenarios (think fractional spring rate changes).
2) Increased oil capacity for improved temperature control. Cooler the damper, the better it will perform.
Presently, I no longer track the car and for pure street driving IMO, the 2WR are probably over-kill. A 1WNR damper will give you enough adjustment range to dial the suspension in for 95% of the roads out there.
If there is a downside to the remote dampers it's mounting. I was able to secure one of the last titanium front braces from Cody Love at LoveFab and used this to mount my front canisters.
The real bottom line is - there is no one right solution or answer. Fortunately for us NSX owners there are many great options out there from budget to high end, including OEM which I think is highly underrated for daily driving.
The important thing is to get out there and DRIVE!
