I've used and restored probably all Moog 900 modules.
Your second questions are rather subjective though.

Again subjective. They're all rare and all have a purpose.

I'd probably not cross the street for a 961, but that's me.

Building Moog modules from schematics isn't terribly easy.
The schemos don't always include everything needed.

There are at least 5 versions of the 902 released.
