Mech is amazing, but it's really hard to play, plus in addition to that there are many things that you have to watch out for with mech, such as muta transitions and broodlord rushes, whereas with MMMM most games are very similar in terms of TvZ because of the linear playstyle and transitions that you have to make. With mech you have to branch out your knowledge and build to compensate for transitions that come out of the Zerg because mech is very vulnerable in that sense.
Yeah. Basically, mech is reactional (you have all the counters at your fingertips, you just have to make enough of them in time to counter his shit) and marine/mine is aggressive (like playing Protoss, you build your units, look at him, and say "beat me", and if he can't you win).
The big thing about mech is scouting (which isn't too bad, since you don't need excessive muleing--limited by gas) and then understanding what you see and how to beat it.
