The Mellotron Group

It all depends on how you want to interact with your machine.  I don't know the price of a digital tron, but if you want a machine that FEELS like a real instrument, I would save up and buy the real thing. On the other hand, if you are more concerned with your personal musical output and the sound of a tron is part of that, then use samples.  I can't comment on the aesthetic appeal of the digital machine or its intrinsic qualities.  

Follow your heart.  I'm just playing devil's advocate. I waited almost 30 years till I got my tron.  Talk about delayed gratification!

since I have only got to play a real tron 20+ years ago for about a hour 
and I have always dreamed of owning one, this new digital mellotron
is something I would like to own. 

Unless there is a alternative ? say the M-tron pro ? Memotron ?

I am hear to learn and not act like a know it all because I don't know
much about the machine other than it sounds amazing.
