I agree with @TheTechnobear.
Actually, since I bought my AE Modular I’ve downsized my Eurorack from over eight rows to only two, because the AE (and DIYing for it) satisfies me so much. I might even get rid of all my Eurorack and just keep the AE and my CGS Serge for my modular synth cravings.
I know it’s probably not a very common situation, but that’s how it went for me somehow
I’m also not worried about longevity, because the AE Modular I have doesn’t spoil. As long as I don’t break it, it’s there doing its job and we already have lots of modules to choose from, with still more being developed and released regularly.
