I had a 'mishap' last summer that ended the life of my MT 205 at 9 1/2 years. It had been subject to its fair share of Northern Canadian off-airport abuse both before and after I owned it. I'd say it stood up remarkably well. I now have an Ultra. I've never run a Trailblazer so I can't offer a comparison opinion, but I've seen nothing that would indicate MT products don't stand up. The Ultra runs smoother and appears to be a better performer in cruise than the 205 was, but the 205 was beast for aerodynamic braking when you chopped the power. Lots more surface area at fine pitch. I had to modify my landing technique a bit with the Ultra as a result.
