If one is doing experimental music, one is likely to devolop other
skills that will pay the rent such as soun design and production.
Also I have to point out that the cost of bleeding edge and unusual
instruments is generally higher because the amount of people who use
these things is smaller, therefore the overhead for the builder may be
higher.
As it is modular synths are a speciality item and the higher end ones
are just not goning to attract people who aren't dedicated to learning
and devoloping a long term relationship with their instrumnets.
I am willing to bet that even a company like Doepfer sells vastly
smaller amounts of their more exotic modules.

Considering that, we're all lucky to get a chance to use these creatively developed tools, it really could cost more...
"stuff" vs. investments...
PS - I'm not knocking Plan B or any other of the great modular stuff I am grateful to have the chance to play with, I'm a big fan of pretty much all of it! And AH has been a great resource and hands down the friendliest music store I've ever dealt with. But I do think we've got a special deal here with Wiard and should appreciate it as such. Eh... just refer to past messages for Grant's perspective on the topic, which is much more practical than that.
