Well, there is a school of thought that believes that MDF is a bad material for frames because it lacks the vibrational dissipation properties of wood. This doesn't mean that wood isn't stiff, it is.
But MDF is a very homogeneous (undifferentiated) material. It has no cellular structure. That makes it more reflective than wood.
The MDF frames, I believe, are actually heavier than hardwood frames.
The primary goal, assuming the rigidity requirement is satisfied, is to release the surplus energy of the panel (any energy that isn't moving air is surplus).
This is audible and measureable.
