Mellotronists

Is it possible that the pro's have taken the Mellotron for granted?  Kind of like the rich burning 100's to light their Cubans?
 
Is it possible that the musicians who don't own Mellotrons write the best Mellotron pieces?  Always trying to achieve that sound but never getting there??
 
Oh well, where's my spectacles and back to my Matrix 6...

If the guy's not happy with the limitations of or apparent 'flaws' in the 
sound, why does he even bother to use a sampled Mellotron? Why not rather 
opt for one of the recent (and quite decent) digitally sampled libraries of 
strings, flutes, etc.? I don't see the point of trying to emulate a 'Tron if 
you're not up to doing it properly, i.e. using a sampler to trigger the 
originally sampled 8 second wobblies. In my opinion, that's undermining the 
whole point of using a sampled Mellotron. In my opinion, that is. Man, these 
things upset me, like when the 21st Century Schizoid Band choose to tweak 
some kind of cheezy fm synth to make it sound like 3 Violins, rather than 
using real 'Tron samples, or better still, a real 'Tron. Why?????
