Wow, tough question. The 410 is an absolute must-have in my 
opinion.  It is so versatile, you will rapidly not want to live 
without it.  

The 420 has a very particular character that I love, and it distorts 
nicely when overloaded.  the 440 is beautiful, too, but it doesn't 
always works distorted.

The 480 is completely amazing.  You get a real bouncy, moogy sound 
out of it.  Of all, the 480 is less versatile, but definately 
has 'that sound'.

The 120 is also a very multi-faceted module.  You can use it as a 
straight 'octaver' (but down to *4* octaves!).  You can make it ring 
modulate the octaves to produce really weird timbres.  And you can 
use it as a kind-of sequencer.

Yep.  They are all must-haves...I'd hate to have to choose!
