200e

Chris,

your kind of ideas are exactly what I was looking for! Modules you 
as an experienced user use/like, could omit, would like to have more 
of them etc.

I think the 227e is especially interesting if you are mobile a lot 
without having a mixer, headphone amplifie etc at hand.

I imagined the same you mentioned about the 210e but in the 
soundonsound review Gordon Reid said that this module might be quite 
important...

Joe mentioned the 266e as quite useful and I think he is right...

I have tons of other modular sound sources/modifiers (Serge, Modcan, 
MOTM, Wiard) but there is nothing like the 222e! As exceptional as 
the Wiard JAG! Therefore my 2nd opinion to maybe focus on those 
things (controllers) which are unique in the synth world?

I expect the 250e to be a VERY interesting and advanced 
sequencer/controller (paid but not in my hands in the moment).
