I'm not a MOTMer & I make my own panels, so I don't have much to add to this debate. I did however finish wiring my Living VCO module today. Its still on the bench being checked over and is not integrated into my system yet but is looking and sounding good so far.
I managed a FRAC format panel design that has all the stock features and fits pretty comfortably (for me) on a 5U frac panel.
Here's a pic of the module taken some time ago before beginning wiring:
