For example: take in a electronics store 8 switchcraft 112 jacks (total 20$) 8 spectrol hi grade pots (total 50$) and 8 alco knobs (25$). You spent about 100$ and also you�ll need the pcb, the electronics, the front panel... Where is the inflated price???

Sure, but do we know that the CoK modules aren't using similarly
over-spec'ed parts? The fact remains that both give sticker shock
initially and require some amount of validation of what appears to be an
inflated price. The question each synthesist then needs to ask themselves
in the case of MOTM: "Do I value these over-spec'ed parts enough to make
the price difference worth it"? That's a personal preference, not an
automatic value.
