Don't get me started on a 4000D. I know people who are full time working musicians who's records we have all bought and it is regarded as adirty oppurtunistic fake, like a guitar with Gribson or Pender on the headstock, there were such things.
If you can't afford a real Mellotron then don't bother buying an ersatrz device.. get a laptop or a sampler, theat plays Streetly approved samples. I have a Melotron and a computer and a sampler but I have felt no need for a thing that replicates a common thing like sample playback. If there was anything about these machines that made them special in termsof functionality I would not hesitate to reccomend.EG : I can't find a anything that repliactes my Crumar Performer.
A VST playback module like the Muse would be what I would buy
Look up the gear approach used by Radio Massacre International. A stripped down sampler with good samplesin a solid easy to maintain hardware shell and power sypply that demands no work to replace .is a great thing.
