I've already done so in some of MOC, which are the modular wall sections. The
very dark gray from Tyco is very nice too mixed in with all the other gray.

Yeah, it's tempting to go over to the dark side when you see something
like that.  The Mega-Blok grey isn't a perfect match for the Lego light
grey though, is it?

Not even close.  Also,  the surface polish is clearly inferior*.  I
plan to exploit this when I get around to doing my "bricks-only"
castle,  mixing the MB greys with Lego grey (and possibly dark grey)
to get an effect that looks like a more-realistic natural variation
among stone blocks.  The MB bricks actually look a little better in
this particular application,  because their less-glossy surface looks
more like the real thing.

even consistently flat,  much less shiny.
