MUFF ADDICT here - cats n knobs, what more could u want... 

as a noob watching this convo from the sidelines -  its a bit disheartening seeing all this "how does this affect my investment" sentiment. im sure many of you longterm wigglers have spent thousands over the years on MOTM and u have every right to bare its monetary value in mind, it just seems totally beside the main point. did u decide to invest in the beginning because u thought u could sell it on for more down the line? 

sorry i dont mean to jibe anyone, but it reads like Paul defending his reasons/decisions to disgruntled "investors". is not he point of DIY to expand/evolve/build on what has come before... i spent over 8 months researching modular before spending a cent on my first module - and i chose MOTM format - carefully, based on quality, look and im sure alot of the same reasons everyone else in the group did. how the formats value would depreciate over time was'not one of them, 

re other MOTM format brands - isnt there a lot more now than 5 years ago or is my history arseaboutface?
