Mellotronists

I realize this is probably sacrilege to bring up but I've never been 
known for my tact or sense of propriety: I am curious about the M-Tron 
software. Has anybody tried it? Perhaps in the privacy of their own 
homes (and washed their hands afterwards) and aren't embarrassed to 
admit it? I love the sound and feel of furniture and heft but don't have 
a roadie, tech, or enough spinal discs to continue to drag it around. 
I'm looking at having to alter the character of my songs by using a 
(retch) string synth on stage or quit touring to preserve the integrity 
of my music and get a real job. Mellotronists don't let Mellotronists 
get day jobs. Think of the children...
