Pretty tough to compare 747 and X1000R to an MTR-10. The 10 uses a completely different format (quarter track vs. half track) than the other two and plays and records at much higher speeds.
The mechanics on the Otari MTR series are much more robust than the 747 and Teac models, and as one poster noted are much easier on your tapes with their excellent tape handling qualities.
Once you go through the MTR 10, it will last forever in home use. It was designed for constant studio use, so is very robust.
I own all 3, but use each to play different format tapes.
