I won't. It's the best of the lot. I'd love to have one just to have. It's not a Mellotron, but it has cool sounds in it, and lots of them. It has Mellotron sounds and Chamberlin sounds. It had friendly software and it does cool stuff. It isn't a Mellotron but it does as good an imitation of one as you're likely to find anywhere.
 
If you have both you're all the better for it. I was thinking of buying one and sometime soon I might. I am fortunate because I have a real M4000 Mellotron and I love playing it and having others play and record it. I also have acquired a real Chamberlin M1.

In a live or studio mix you would never hear the difference especially after the reverb and

other processing that is commonly used on Mellotron tracks.  It will almost certainly out

sell the tape machines but most on this list will hate it no matter what it sounds like.

I hadn't seen this before, I think I can just tell the difference between the M4000D and the Mark VI. I don't suppose anybody on the list has been tempted?
