The Propeller Island disc is a waste of money. There's absolutely no
comparison between it and the Pinder rom IMO. That disc (Akai format) is
about as good as it gets short of having access to a real tron. In the
mix it will fool most of the punters most of the time, and even the
ocassional list-member. I bought my copy used for $150 and thought it was
money well spent. You might also try the M-tron VST plugin, while you're
investigating.
