<I veiw converts as essentially the same as options, expect the owners get paid interest until the convers are traded in for stock. Is this correct>

Not really.
With converts the buyer of the converts gets interest on the money they loaned to MRVC and the option (strictly their choice) to take the return of their money at some future date or the right to a number of shares for each $1000 they loaned to the company.

MRVC could call (pay off) the loan early at a premium ($1000+ in my example). Believe holder of converts still has the choice of taking $$ or shares
