Mellotronists

Is anyone using a spring reverb on their Mellotron? I've been using
an Alesis Microverb or the Kjaerhaus VST reverb plugin. The Microverb
has a lot of presets, but none of them sound like real reverb to me.
I just bought a Premier Reverb unit from eBay (no lectures please).
Does anyone have experience using a Premier or similar spring reverb 
on a Mellotron?
