I think some of you are not giving enough credit to Marine Tank Medivac. True, Mech generally outplays MTM because it gets more and better tanks than MTM (obviously) and marines are pretty hard-countered by hellions and are as mobile. Against bio however, it fares much better.

Some people are being a bit too rigid with the comps presented. MTM can be done in several ways: starting bio and getting tanks late game, or earlier, or go for a 1-1-1 and get tanks early enough. MTM can perfectly keep up with upgrades and mobility with bio, and fare better, because pure rine > rine rauder, and IMHO, a relatively small tank force is actually quite helpful in this case. Why? Because you don't need a big number of tanks to get an advantage in straight up fights against bio, it still forces a decent number of marauders and it keeps your army mobile enough. The tank:rine:Medivac ratio? I think it depends on the situation.

Then again, I'm just plat, so take some of this with a grain of salt.

Most people are agreeing marine tank beats bio ^^. And they also agree you either open 1/1/1 or a FE with bio into tech. So you're right, as per the thread!
