As another tronless member, I think M-tron is better
than nothing, you can produce some quite nice sounds
but definitely something missing. The choirs and
clarinet are quite good, the flutes pretty poor and
all the string samples rather disappointing. Still
it's cheap I reckon including the VST host it costs
about 2% of what a mellotron would cost.

Still saving for one all the same!
