Ahem.. speak for yourself, I think my modular music is excellent hehehe
I did enjoy reading, thank you!!
My take on it is simple, if you can afford it and you have an itch to scratch, then do it - and I wish you good luck!!
If you can't afford it, then don't, and get VCVRack installed on your computer instead - seriously that whole world of awesomeness is not exactly the same, but it is damn close and getting better all the time e.g. MI Ripples emulated recently - WOW!!
