   I think I'd also add circuit complexity to the list too.  One of the 
main concerns, especially for beginner DIY'ers, is to keep it simple, and 
jumping into a complex circuit isn't necessarily a good idea.
   Just as an example, the ASM-1 LFO is very simple whereas the Formant 
LFO is more complex.  This kind of database listing would be very good 
I think.  :)
