Sort of a "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" kind of
question, eh?  Where to draw the line between MOTM and Doepfer?
Nothing is really "wrong" with either of them. but there are obvious
design trade-offs with, and therefore different expectations of, each
of them...

One analogy might be Black & Decker tools vs. Porter-Cable.  The
Porter-Cable will last longer, but you'll pay more for it.  If you can
buy three B&D cordless drills for the same price as one P-C, which one
is the better choice for you?

Or, to put it another way, how often do you twist the knobs on your
modular?  Do you think you'll wear out an Alpha pot any time soon?  If
you do wear it out, are you unwilling to put another one in?
