Probably not classed as recent, but I completed my MCC at parc last Summer and found them very prosessional. They use a real B737-200 sim.
Yes its has clocks rather than glass, but the benefit of that is coming from your IR you will feel right at home.
Also the visuals can be put to same by a home PC, but then you're not exaclty there to enjoy the view (that can wait a few months)
The instructors are (or at least were) all line trainers on type with Aer Lingus, Ryanair etc, so know what they're talking about.
Finally in response to the previous post, yes, to a certain extent, the MCC is one last tick in a box. However, I took the view that the MCC is preparation for sim checks and indeed type training, whether on a 737 or not.
But if that's not enough just think of the pleasure you'll get from flying a OEI ILS to a greaser of a landing
