As for being "more robust", I'm not sure. Overall, MPV has features that VLC doesn't have, but VLC has a few features that MPV doesn't have, so they're kind of on-par. MPV may be seen as being "lighter weight" since it dosn't come with a full-fledged GUI (though it does come with a perfectly usable OSD) but it has demanding options as well (--vo=opengl-hq for instance).
I don't know what tv-maxe is, so I can't comment on that.

I tried to install cmplayer but it was basically impossible running Ubuntu 14.04 due to clutter, and when trying to install that I ended up breaking something and I still haven't figured out what and I don't have to time to figure out what I uninstalled. As far as the built in interface is concerned, I was thoroughly impressed. I was nice on the eyes, but ridiculously simple.
Other people are correct about vlc colour being off. Back when I had crunchbang on an old pentium 4, vlc was the only player that could manage 720p playback. Windows XP vlc couldn't even do that good.
But the colour was off, it was as if someone turned up the brightness or down the contrast, or both. For whatever reason the blacks were always darker on mplayer.
