Personally, rather than have a 2u panel with a million multiples on it all
in one spot, I would rather have a 1u panel that had 2 or 3 "quads" of
multiples on it. If I need more (which I would) I would buy two.

Here's my reasoning:

Multiples are one of those 'you never know where you're going to need it'
modules, and it would be nice to spread them around instead of having one
massive patch matrix in the corner somewhere.

With the triple "quad" multiple idea, you could make it so that the upper
left jack in the second and third quad were normalized to the quad above it.
So if you plug jacks in everywhere, you have three independent quad
multiples, but if you leave the upper left jack out of, say, the second
quad, you have seven jacks tied together (I'm a bit surprised at those who
wrote that they didn't need more than a 1-in-3-out multiple block... in my
experience, I quite often need a lot more than a three-split).

Third, and this may sound silly at first... I think we need more 1u modules!
I know there are more on the way, but right now, all we have is the EG. It
makes it tougher to arrange module configurations without some more 'little
pieces' to offer options. It's like playing Tetris. You have an EG and the
only thing you can offset it with right now is... another EG! Might as well
be a 2u module. I actually ∗do∗ have two EGs, but I don't need them next to
each other. So I'm hungry for some of those 1u modules (especially the VCO).
