Anyway my thoughts are:

1) Could you play the string part on a tron with all
the slides?
2) Would it sound better or worse?
3) What string parts on well known songs would sound
better on a tron?

some more examples

Ride a white swan by T-rex ( another group favourite I
would expect)
Need your love so bad Fleetwood Mac, obviously not the
original Little Willie John version.

PS is the correct term for slides on a tron pitch dives?
 I recently saw a short video that Mattias did of a Mellotron playing Chamberlin (Pedal) Steel Guitar. The pitch knob was very effective in adding to the realism of the sound. So I think pitch sweeping is the more accurate term.
