  The objective of your query isn't entirely clear. Are you asking if it's possible to emulate the beautiful curly braces produced by ccases{...} with a math font other than mtpro2? Something else? Please clarify.

  @Mico I read the question as, the OP likes the syntax of an environment, rather than a macro, so how to generate an environment that calls upon the ccases macro.

I don't have MTPro, but I presume the approach would be as follows:

documentclass{article}

usepackage{amsmath,environ}

% YOU MAY DELETE THE FOLLOWING LINE WHEN USING MTPro

providecommandccases[1]{begin{cases}#1end{cases}}



NewEnviron{Cases}{ccases{BODY}}



begin{document}

[

y = begin{Cases}x_1 & text{first choice}\x_2& text{second choice}end{Cases}

]



end{document}

I use a newly defined Cases, so as not to obliterate the original cases environment.

---

ADDENDUM

To address a follow up question of the OP, I introduce Left and Right (as as not to obliterate left and right)

documentclass{article}

usepackage{amsmath,environ}

% YOU MAY DELETE THE FOLLOWING 2 LINES WHEN USING MTPro

providecommandccases[1]{begin{cases}#1end{cases}}

providecommandPARENS[1]{left(#1right)}

%



defLeft#1#2Right#3{

  ifx(#1PARENS{#2}else

%    ifx[#1BRACKETS{#2}else% AN EXAMPLE OF HOW TO CODE MULTIPLE TESTS

      left#1#2right#3% USE DEFAULT IF NO ALTERNATE DEFINITION

%    fi

  fi

}

NewEnviron{Cases}{ccases{BODY}}

begin{document}

[

y = 

begin{Cases}

  Left(dfrac{x_1}{3}Right) & text{first choice}\

  x_2& text{second choice}

]

  @MOB It is not exactly clear what you ask. If you are saying that, in MTPro, one just uses normal parens and the size takes care of itself, then just use normal parens. On the other hand, if you are asking, how to deal with code that is written using left and right, without manually going in and deleting all those references, then perhaps letleftrelax and letrightrelax might work, by disabling their function.
