Or perhaps Newtron.
 
 
But why not just call it the Mark VI-D?

Well, why not go with the current marketing flow-
 Mellotron ME
 MY Mellotron, My'Tron, MyDigitron
 'Tron2010
 and the worst-  Better'Tron

Well that's no good. They obviously did it to PISS YOU  OFF! Now that you 
are not, they look rather silly.
A tit for tat thing...
Streetly M4000 mellotron
M4ooo-D  Mellotron
Sheesh,
To me, it is like saying that the MKVI and  MKVII models are obsolete and 
doomed to  irrelevance.
MKXXXIX - D100 Mellotron/Chamberli n/Optagon,  is a much more logical 
choice; why didn't they think of  this??
