There is far more to getting proper sound from a Mellotron than just proper head azimuths. M-400s can be wonderful solo instruments when set up properly. I play my Black (now sold) M-400 all the time just by itself and can get lost in the sound. This also applies to the M4000.

Martin has sorted the headblock so it isn't an azimuth issue, and listening to tron solos they are often either a single melodic line eg. Seven Stones, Golf Girl, Exiles or a series of chord progressions eg Mocking bird, She said.
