MOTM

My $0.02:

I have a small system now, with plans to gradually grow it.  I love the 
look of the Synthtec panels, but i would still choose MOTM over 
anything currently available even if they had radically different 
panels.  I'm not even too concerned about all the panels in my system 
matching - as long as they all fit together and are well layed out for 
patching, etc.  I chose MOTM because of the electronics first (designs 
and specs), the quality second, and the format last.  If changing the 
panels makes it easier for the Stooges or even for Synthtec to continue 
to offer such a great product in a small and competitive market, then 
i'm all for it.  I haven't had time to do any diy yet, though when i 
do, i would value easily available (like 2 wks vs a year), less 
expensive panels over ones that very closely match Synthtec panels but 
cost more and are harder to get.
