I did want to ask though as I'm very new to hardware modular, what are some things to keep in mind about balancing utilities with other modules? (filters, E.G's, Sound Sources etc)
-- pestilent
loosely:
sound sources < sound modifiers < modulation sources < utilities = most variety for money and works well as a 'rule of thumb'
loosely because a sound source might be 2-3 vcos, a sound modifier might also be a sound source, maths might be seen as both a modulation source and a utility etc etc
I tend to see maths as a complex modulation source - if you want the utilities it has I'd advise to buy them separately
I'd be pushed to have much more than 1 sound source per row and support it properly though

Utility modules are the dull polish that makes the shiny modules actually shine!!!
sound sources < sound modifiers < modulation sources < utilities
