I've definitely used it with the 580EX II as background, although I forget with which camera (it would have been either the original 5D or the 1Ds Mk III). You can control the background ratio with the A:B:C ratio control on the flash by putting the 580EX II in group C (the heads are groups A and B, as written right on them).

The MT-24 EX is rather old and due for an update. It has archaic, mini incandescent lights for modeling.
Are you sure they're not LEDs? I assumed they must be since there's no way to change the bulbs or mention of it in the manual.
While I agree an update would be good (weather sealing and that ghastly battery door), looking at the 580 EX II I don't trust Canon not to make the UI even worse. It was bad enough figuring it out the first time and, frankly, life's too short.
When they updated the macro ring light, Canon could have done what Olympus did with their macro lights for the old T-series film era system: the one control unit accepted either a twin head or a ring light.
