Mellotronists

What does THAT mean? I know it's not the "real thing" but I was 
commenting on it's usefulness in a live touring rig to replace a 
somewhat tempermental machine with tapes that break etc. Treasure 
the real trons...but leave them at home.
 And do I sense some professional jealousy from the tronbros? Yeah, 
it's competition. "Doesn't emulate a tron in any way"? Listen to the 
audio samples on their webpage. You probably would say that my E4K 
and Pinder CD Rom doesn't emulate a tron in any way...or my Emu VK6 
Vintage Synth which does pretty fair tron sounds(with some personal 
programming you get way better than the factory examples)
BY the way- I owned an M400 for 25 years and love the instrument but 
time marches on.(as do my aging back muscles)
