> With all respect, Martin, until you can put them side by side and compare  them it would be hard to dispute that Markus' digital machine is better than  the Memotron. I know people who have played both and that's what I'm told. I  certainly understand your bitterness, but in it you lose objectivity. The  facts seem to support the likelihood that it was under priced when compared to  the Memotron, which I feel is ridiculously overpriced. But people are lining  up to buy them. If they weren't, the price wouldn't have gone up. The buzz I  am hearing is, "... here is a Mellotron that I can afford." I believe that  Markus will sell a bunch of these machines, no matter what he named it. In 6  months he'll probably sell more of them than all the real Mellotrons Streetly  could ever make. Sad but true if you're a purist. Regardless of whether or not  he uses, "M400D Mellotron,' it just isn't a Mellotron. You make M ellotrons...  and damn good ones.
