tucker's mcs porcelain

I have done testing on MCS porcelain at cone 6 oxidation as a replacement
for my current cone 6 body. The one difference that bothers me is how much
more yellow it is than my current body. My tests are from a single sample
portion. Have others noticed this characteristic? Any other comments about
this body?

Thanks,

I have used this clay as well as Tucker's MP5 porcelain. While the
difference isn't critical for me, at my stage of clay use, my teacher
Peta Hall uses the MP5, because, to her, its whiteness is better for
her underglaze colour work and clear glaze.

There is one picture of Peta's work (and Peta) on the web at:
