You want to test this but
* are tired of typing "-M sftp" all the time, and
* can't use alias scp='scp -M sftp' because you frequently use -3?

Here you go, this simple wrapper should take care of it:

------------------->
#!/bin/sh

sftp='-M sftp'

while getopts :12346ABCTdfpqrtvD:F:J:M:P:S:c:i:l:o: name; do
case $name in
[3M]) sftp='' ;;
esac
done

exec /usr/bin/scp $sftp "$@"
