Yup, I like the fact that my four-row system is equivalent to a what would be a large modular in those systems with a larger format. I'll stick with the minijacks to get that advantage, no problem.

I think you're right. 3.5mm jacks are fine and mate with Blacet, Wiard, AS, etc. Regarding the size factor, it sometimes amuses me to consider that the gigantic Moog 55 had only about 28 modules in it -- about the quantity in maybe 3 or 4 rows of Doepfer. But of course you can't make direct comparisons. For starters, the Moog VCO and VCF are still sonically unmatched.
