Mellotronists

No Mark, you're not.  I have M-tron, but am working on the real thing.  
If we set aside the purist argument for a moment, I'd say that M-tron's 
biggest weakness is the quality of its samples.  Some are fairly decent, 
but many are wretched - so noisy or so poorly sampled as to be 
unusable.  However, at $120, if it puts a smile on your face for even a 
few months - and you're not planning on getting the real thing anyway - 
I'd say you spent your money well.  You might seriously look at 
investing in the Pinder CD Rom and an old hardware sampler off of ebay 
for maybe three  to four times the cost (>$500?), for a much higher 
quality playback experience.  Least that's what I've heard.
best,
