In order, budget, features, convenience and fun. I bought my MP first, then the Spark. When I'm planning a 'serious' photo session I take the MP with it's added features, camera quality, and much longer battery life. When I'm just having fun and there's no major photo demands, I take the Spark. If you browse the Spark Forum's images you'll not see much difference in the photo quality, and if you do, it's more likely the quality of the photographer that is reflected NOT the Spark.
So far, the only complaint with the Spark is battery life. When I'm shooting sunsets I like to "hang" in the air and take one image after another as the sun sets. Bringing down the aircraft for new batteries takes 3-4 minutes, just long enough to loose that perfect moment in the sunset.
Finally, the Spark looks more like a 'toy' drone to the non-pilots among us. Observers will likely dismiss it as a toy rather than complain about imposing on their privacy. It become more of a curiosity (to them) than an issue, especially when I take the time to show them how it works and answers their questions with courtesy.
