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.

* Though they're still better than the Blockmen bricks, which aren't
even consistently flat, much less shiny.
