Hmmm...Maybe the REAL comparison is comparing #805 to its sampled self
(which I can also do on my PC)?  Nawww, I have to rearrange my sock drawer.
From my experience the real thing still wins! Smpled every note, full duration for a friend into a top end Yamaha sampler and as soon as you play chords the Mellotron wins hands down even though these are samplws of the same machine.
 
Same with a Fairlight although strangely the Fairlight samples we put onto Mellotron tapes get very close to a real Fairlight which was odd and very ironic...
