I've been using a MH-01 since 2008, mostly with my 500/4L IS and 300/2.8L IS. If it broke, which is very unlikely, or got lost (more likely), I'd buy another MH-01, or maybe a MH-02 if I felt a bit flush.
The MH-01 does have semi-adjustable friction controlled by how tightly you screw down the big knob, but it's not well-controlled, like on a good ball head. OTOH, you really don't need it, as fine adjustments are made by adjusting the vertical attitude of the monopod, not by messing with the head. For example, if you want to shoot a groundscape about six feet in front of you, you adjust the head to about 45 deg down, and then do fine adjustments to the image framing by moving the monopod a bit forwards or backwards.
