Wow, tough question. The 410 is an absolute must-have in my
opinion. It is so versatile, you will rapidly not want to live
without it.

The 420 has a very particular character that I love, and it distorts
nicely when overloaded. the 440 is beautiful, too, but it doesn't
always works distorted.

The 480 is completely amazing. You get a real bouncy, moogy sound
out of it. Of all, the 480 is less versatile, but definately
has 'that sound'.

The 120 is also a very multi-faceted module. You can use it as a
straight 'octaver' (but down to ∗4∗ octaves!). You can make it ring
modulate the octaves to produce really weird timbres. And you can
use it as a kind-of sequencer.

Yep. They are all must-haves...I'd hate to have to choose!
