Well, this is true for many studios, but not all. If
you are always installing new modules or moving
modules around, you will need to be connecting and
disconnecting external cables.
But more importantly, this ONLY applies to
studio-based systems. People who play out HAVE TO
continuously plug and unplug equipment. Having things
mounted on the front is a great benfit! I am sure all
of the other performers on the list will concur.
Also, I am not sure how having less cables on the
front of a modular synthesizer looks better. I guess
beauty is in the eye of the beholder (could the
botched Lasik surgery be affecting my eyesight?). And
if it bothers you, just you the jack that Paul has
thoughtfully already provided on the back.
And finally, I like the panel mounted DIN jacks. High
quality and black preferred.
Cheers!
