I agree with this. I really like the idea behind the Super Moe (modularize all the internal functions of a sequencer to make the most powerful version of a sequencer) but I agree if this idea were ever to be taken on by either Paul or Moe, it would be a while before they sold enough of these "sub" modules to see a profit. It would also be a daunting outlay of cash before any user would have anything like a sequencer.
In that regard, I favor Moe's idea of having a more basic sequencer available -- besides, a lot of interesting things can happen with multiple sequencers running at one time.
Assuming a larger MOTM analog sequencer will eventually become available, what about reducing the size even smaller to a 3U 8 X 1 (maybe a 4 X 2) with all the basic features (clock in, hold, up/down, reset, etc.) and an additional chain out to link several of these together to make longer (or polyphonic) sequences.
What is the projected cost of the finished project to the user? And what kind of op amps will you be specifying -- low drift expensive ones perhaps?
