Which is the favourite MUT is an excellent question.
Like you, I am not fan about the Date, in general, and this Watch is no exception. 
Now, about the case, I am currently thinking that 34, 38, 39 mm are great MUT cases. Above, JLC should switch and adopt the case for the new Master Control line.
Back to the real MUTs, 38 and 39 mm are two different cases, if you look at their respective profile.
I euqally love both of them.

Jaeger-Lecoultre SIHH 2015: Master Grande Ultra Thin Date.
In 2014, JLC unveiled the MUT Date, in rose gold. The full article on this Watch is here: It was quite expected that a stainless steel model came, this year, as the market is in love with automatic movements and dates. If you add a superb case, then, you...
Nice but I prefer the MUT 38.5mm
Somehow the subdial in the 38.5mm adds balance, whereas this date window is a little too central and looks odd. Plus 40mm is still a touch big, while the 38.5mm is near-perfect!

Not convinced with date
Hi It does look good - but not convinced about the date - might have been better at 3, or perhaps not at all. Surprisingly for me I prefer the rose gold version as it comes across as being a bit "warmer", not sure if that because of the dial or the rose g...
A smart dress watch
that won't break the bank or draw undesired attention at work. I have grown tired of the date window as well with some exceptions like the Dato or modern Submariner, but this placement isn't too bad at all. A nice watch.
Thre are a lot of people for who date and automatic movement are important.
so, for those who additionally want a nice case, this is the one. For others, there are smaller MUTs... All is not lost! ;) Best, Nicolas
Well, I must chime in...
I have the rose version and LOVE it! I was wearing the MGUT 40mm for a year or so and kept looking for the date, so, from a business standpoint, I MUCH prefer this one. I know that these are prototype pics, but 2 things I DO really like: 1) the seconds ar...
A good way to rationalize the catalog would be to feed the Master Line with these
Big " MUT " cases. I think we have something, here, which may please us in the very next years. JLC is too much turning around the MUT case to not make a revolution on the Master Case, IMO. Best, Dean. Nicolas
