My opinion as an AMP-lover is that the service level at the AMP's in recent years has improved but is still not up to the old standards back when people like Lisa reigned at Pearls, and Joy was at Jade, etc. I have tried a couple visits to Michiko and 4 Seasons, etc., but the girl doesn't even get naked to wash you down any more. No perks in the TS, which used to be part of the thrill--how much attention will I get in the TS, and will I even make it back to the room? With Million you never knew. A lot of the girls seem to go back and forth between studios and AMPs now (Banana, Wynn, Cat, etc.), but the price point is about the same and the service level IMO at the studios is higher at this time. Green Light, no upcharge for bbfs, msog, cim. Used to be able to get all that at an AMP for 200, but not any more.

Guys seem to skim past that fact. From my perspective, which admittedly is narrow, AMPs have higher service. But that could mean ''Michiko is higher service''. On that I'm certain that Michiko is better than an average Studio. Maybe the totality of AMPs is not as good as Studios? Certainly possible.
The only thing keeping Michiko from approaching Blue/(former) Pearls-level quality, is that shower limitation, as you point out. The beds are just too small to support 2 naked bodies writhing in soap suds. That said, BiBi DID strip and join me, body-to-body in the Michiko shower. I applaud her for that, and she had always done that on the larger beds at Spas of yesteryear. But even with the more limited table shower, that is still more than a Studio offers, where more often than not, you shower alone, no attention from your girl.
