The Xtreme filter is nice and nasty - you'll like that. Are 137-1 and 137-2 both necessary? Why do you want the A-111-5 in this box? You may well get more fun from individual modules, and when the time comes for replacing/upgrading, you don't have to throw the whole lot out just to upgade, for example, your VCO.
