Doepfer

Well, my system (see photos) is mixed as well, but the Doepfer
modules 
are all in one case, and the A Solutions are in their own case as
well. 
This has worked very well for me! Can't speak personally as to mixing 
in a single case. I DO know that the A Sol case has BOTH Doepfer and
A 
Sol power outlets...

RE: A Vs VA. I prefer to record and perform in the home studio with
the 
analog modulars and do outside live performances with the Nord 
MicroModular and Korg MS2000R. They're more portable, can hold many 
quick changing programs, and are (IMO) pretty close to the "Real
Deal." 
If your audiences can tell the diff between A and VA, then I wish we 
had your PA and soundperson!!
