The A-143-4 was planned as a VCLFO but not as VCO. Later we added the range
switch and the temperature compensation that allows the limited usage as a
VCO as well. But we are also working on a low cost Quad VCO with a sawtooth
core (A-110-4 ?, nothing but four VCOs of the DIY synth board). This will
have saw and rectangle outputs (rectangle with PW/PWM). So far it is not yet
announced on our website as there are a lot of other modules with higher
priority.

It's all a matter of taste. Some like the A-110 sound, others hate it :-)
I personally also prefer the A-110 over the A-111 (concerning the sound, not
the range and CV linearity) but I know many users who would disagree.
