MRes prior to PhD?

Has anyone on this forum studied a MRes before undertaking a PhD? I am looking to go down this route rather than taking a MSc in Computer Science.

I would be interested in people's views/experiences.

Thanks

I'm doing an MRes, and intend to start a PhD (not started yet though). I never considered doing an MA - they seemed too much like my first degree. I wanted more independence and to research exactly what I wanted. I expect it will prepare me better for my PhD too.

Many thanks Bleebles, like you the thought of studying repeated modules at a Masters level does not interest me in the slightest.
