Well, in my opinion it lacks some decently controllable CV inputs AND it 
will most surely come without MIDI interface. No problem in the settings 
it is most likely to be used in though.
Yet what would take me back most is the lack of decent Amplitude 
Modulation capabilities as you can't modulate the Amplitude down to zero.

But apart from that, it's very decent SDIY work, so please don't go the 
way to featuritis ;-)

Congrats from here as well!!
