Hmmm. Fair enough. I was surprised by it being referred to as 'junk'
simply because the sound that comes out of it is not actually all that
bad - certainly better than a lot of what the M-Tron has to offer.

That's true, Mike, unless you are using M-Tron samples in it. I think $2,600.00 US seems a lot for a machine that is so limited. If the Nord is in the same price range, I would certainly go with it. I also thing that M/A would pay more attention to the quality of the samples that are in it. I've often wondered why so many of the folks who sell samples seem to think that the crappier they sound, the more authentic they are.
It seems obvious to me that when they were designed, Mellotrons were intended to be reliable and at least somewhat consistent in their sound reproduction.
