This is true, except there are plenty of options at all different price
points to make noise/music. At some point, feature set enters into the
equation as does form factor. There are only a couple of modules in the
Serge line that do not have analogs in other manufacturers. Certainly
not enough to base an entire system around.

With that in mind, I think a strong argument can be made that any change
short of going to single modules, which as far as any conversation I've
ever had with him would suggest is *never* going to happen, would
effectively remove the advantage of the Serge's custom panels and leave
us with most of the liabilities of the system.

Of course we have to wait and see what the plan is but I think a fair
amount of healthy skepticism is also not unwarranted.
