Please don't think I'm a pain for suggesting checking the archives once in a
while, otherwise John P. and I are going to be continually re-running our
difference of opinion over ModCan. (Message 141 onwards)
Let me once again outline my opinions though.

The Negatives:
Cost. My 6 modules, case, psu and shipping worked out at $2,130.

ouch!!!!!

Not that cheap considering you could get a Serge panel for under $3,000 that
would do a lot more.
Looks. ModCan has a certain charm but isn't a patch on a Serge panel IMO.
i've only checked out the modcan stuff casually, and was distressed to see that their env is a
dead ringer for the serge XADSR, right down to the jack locations and the response switch...it looks like
modcan just flat out copied the serge. take a look for yourself. commentary invited! chris w., if you've got
the env module, is there any way you can open yours up for a scan or pic of the pcb? i'd like to see how far this scam
pervades.....and i'm sure rex would, too.

(and yeah, i consider a direct copy of a serge module's graphics/features to be a scam, personally)
