Yup, I have to agree with that, too. I don't give a hoot whether or not my
modules are visually distinctive from across the room. I don't use my MOTM
from across the room!

I will intermix 200 series modules with my existing (and future) modules. If
I can't do this, I'm not interested in the modules.  I absolutely do NOT
want to see a series of modules that for some reason should go in a
different cabinet, because of changes in module size, connectors, whatever.
If the 200 series modules are not easily interchangeable with modules in an
existing MOTM system, I simply won't buy them.

As I said previously, variations in layout, color, graphics, etc. are okay
with me, but these variations should be considered in light of juxtaposition
with existing modules, because this is how these modules will be used.
