I concur with the others: the Mark I has the best sound of the lot, and the Mark II close - I know they can be voiced to sound similar, but in this scenario the Mark I wins for my aesthetic.

I imagine the Mark 7 must play very nicely, tho I would really want to voice it more like the Mark I - something about the 'plastic' sound as it moves across the break into the upper register that just grates on me.
It seemed like, in terms of the playing fluidity, the 7 had the best action. The Mark I sounded worlds better, like a Rhodes should sound, but it seemed cumbersome to play.

Definitely don't like the plastic/bell sound of the 7's upper range.
