Mellotronists

Wow I am kind of floored by the cost of a MKII. Everything that you 
read in regaurds to Mellotrons always come back to saying that a MKII 
is a far supperiour machine over the M400? Also, from what I can hear 
the sounds of the MKII seem to have more of an eire nature about them 
ie. strings. I really love the strings used in the old king crimsion 
and this new group caled ours. With the M400 can you get that same 
sound as the MKII or is that just the nature of the beast? With MKII 
being as much as $12,000 I don't forsee that in the near furture. I 
guess M400 fit into the buget a little easier. As many of the other 
members may feel thier is just a growing obsecne everytime you hear 
one.
