Ah, Chuck, don't get so fretful! The point is that as a seasoned tron owner, you know that mellotrons have hard to define attributes that means they never play the same thing the same way twice. There are a lot more elements at play and we have spent a long time defining them for our own edification. Unless you model what a mellotron does then a sample replay instrument is a compromise and that's what the Memotron is - a compromise. Jealousy really doesn't come into it at all!

It's more than that, isn't it? The Memotron is a sample playback of a sample playback machine. Therefore, it can never be better, but it can well be worse. You can't record new samples into it.
Fuck it.
