Certainly agreed.  A couple of exceptions were interesting because of their 
internal "patchability" even if it wasn't via patchcords:

Oberheim Xpander
Waldorf Wave

The idea of a hybrid, or basically a digitally-patchable modular, is very 
interesting.  A small market, but pretty interesting.  One of these days, 
probably in my retirement, I'd love to build that huge relay bank for a rack 
of MOTM patching.
