IMO, this is a *much* better idea than just adding randomness.  What you 
have then is the ability to set a 'groove' to your sequence.  Personally 
before building any hardware I would first play around in a software 
sequencer and try out what pure randomness sounds like to you, as 
opposed to a groove quantise which is repeating the same timing 
discrepencies for each beat of the bar.
