the mb33 were still be made upto a year or two ago at least but rebadged with a different face plate under the Terratec name.
They sound ok (i have one at home). But they are not completely accurate to the tb. My tb has more character in sound especially when i have it screechy in the higher freq ranges. Although with the mam you can get some real nice lower end going. Also you lose a lot by not having the sequencer. You can do all slides and accent via midi on the mam but it never quite sounds the same. They are excellant for the money though. But if your willing to save and spend the extra money then the tb is the way to go.
If not look into software the audiorealism is very good conversion. Although i always have problems getting it to sit in the mix where my hardware tb does so without to much effort. The phoscyon is ok too but sounds a bit thin on the bottom end.
