Two of everything is good. You're right. Maximizing the number of variables is what I'm really after. The density part was my way of turning the emotional issue, "Yikes, how am I going to get by with only 26U?!" into an intellectual exercise. I'm limiting myself to 26U initially in a .com studio case. So far I have decided 16U of it, all different modules, except for two MOTM 800s. Looks like another 6U will be duplicates. That leaves 4U still up for grabs.
