Try them both in a live situation.  It'll be painfully obvious which is the better machine....

It sounds pretty good to my partially deaf ears, but it is not a Mellotron. It is a digital sample playback machine that plays high quality samples of taped samples of real instruments.
 
Wasn't it Pinder who once said something like..." I don't want to play other people's music, I want to play other people's instruments. .."
 
So in this case, what you are saying is that you want to play samples of someone playing samples of other people's instruments. Is that right?
