Do you not like Chamberlins? I have never seen or
played one and have only heard them on Richard
Thompson and Harry Nilsson CDs. The sound certainly is
different but not in a way I can easily explain, I
really like it but if offered a choice between a
Chamberlin and a Tron would take the Tron, unless of
course it was the rivera/riviera in which case I would
play it continuously for several months and then sell
it to buy an M5000!

see the link below

Personally, I love the sounds of a Chamberlin. I have never heard what comes out of a Riviera, but If I had to hazard a guess, I would think the sounds would be wonderful. To see the beauty of the cabinet itself and knowing that Harry built it originally for himself I would have to think that it would play very well indeed.
 
I also am a big fan of the M1 and would love to own one.

So I hope the rest of you were not offended by my previous post
