We present simulations of the Magellanic Cloud SNR sample from XMM's fully detailed raytrace, demonstrating its capabilities in detailed line spectroscopy of sources of moderate spatial extent. The MC sample includes a range of SNR types, ages, and nonequilibrium ionization stages in a well-known environment that reduces observational uncertainties. Detailed line spectroscopy, possible only with the new generation of X-ray telescopes, of the 0.5--2.0 keV band will provide a wealth of previously unavailable data. This band, which is rich in lines of K shell Ne, Mg, and Si, and L shell Fe, contains powerful diagnostics to constrain plasma uncertainties. The high dispersion of XMM's reflection grating spectrometer makes it the ideal tool for studying moderately extended (10--100 arcsec) remnants.
