Same here, when I had the M400 violins I was always trying to get them to sound like the MKII ones. But of course with the re-EQ, and some of the actual notes/recordings not being the same between versions, it was always to no avail!
I wonder if this is also part of what Mike Pinder meant when he described the M400 as being "like a black and white photo of a colourful Mellotron". Circuitry and types of amplification between models aside (though of course they're major factors), maybe that's another reason why he said this, if he'd judged the M400 by the sound of the M400 violins.
Don't get me wrong, I still like the M400 versions - just that to these ears they'll always pale by comparison to the MKII ones.
Hmm, probably a case of OCD here too...
