simply doesn't come up sonically to the Mk.II or the Mk.V.

I am sure this is true, but it is not a dramatic difference and it is
not important to me. The 400 has been used on a large number of
great live and studio recordings over the years. If you are looking
for something that is sonically superior, get a sampler with samples
recorded in 2002.

I am completely convinced that the Chamberlin M1 is sonically
superior to any Mellotron. I have heard them side by side...
(Chamberlin 3 Violins vs MK11 3 Violins). The Chamberlin is
sonically superior, but I prefer the sound of the Mellotron.

I also prefer to hear Dianna Ross on a 1957 Jukebox.
