Good analysis.

"Unfortunately" meaning that you don't like the smaller knobs?
Or, you just don't like to mix and match them with the MOTM standard?
FWIW, I think that Modcan makes nice use of different knob sizes.

Some people like big synths with the controls spread way out, like Moogs and
Arricks. MOTM puts a bit more into the same area. Buchla and Serge rate
pretty high in this regard, as far as I know, and Blacet and Doepfer score
high with their compact modules. And Wiard...

12 Moog modules make a small synth. 12 Wiard modules make a small monster!

Different strokes, all good.
