I am sure this is true, but it is not a dramatic difference and it is 
not important to me.  The 400 has been used on a large number of 
great live and studio recordings over the years.  If you are looking 
for something that is sonically superior, get a sampler with samples 
recorded in 2002. 

I am completely convinced that the Chamberlin M1 is sonically 
superior to any Mellotron.  I have heard them side by side...
(Chamberlin 3 Violins vs MK11 3 Violins).  The Chamberlin is 
sonically superior, but I prefer the sound of the Mellotron.

I also prefer to hear Dianna Ross on a 1957 Jukebox.
