I think it's the other way around ---MinionPro is an impressive  
package, a whole project that goes far beyond redefining rmdefault  
and the like. For example, if you want math with lining figures, or  
old style figures, or old style tabular figures, etc., you pass that  
option to MinionPro.sty, not MnSymbol.sty.
