You are quite right.  There is no need to make a VCO based on the 
259.  Doepfer would benefit from an new high quality discrete VCO of 
any design.  That said, with the new A149, A101, A154, A133,  and the 
proposed A143-1, you have the quivelent of the following buchla 
modules:

A101-2 = Buchla 292
A149-1 = Buchla 265/266
A154 = provides similar fucntions to the Buchla 246 control section
A133/A138b = adds bi-polar CV control similar to many buchla CV inputs
A143-1 = Buchla 281

Mind you, I realize the Doepfer modules are not exact copies of the 
Buchla modules.  And, I also realize the Doepfer modules offer 
features not found on the Buchla modules.

With all of this, Doepfer will certainly benefit from a high quality 
VCO.  I do like Peter Grenader's suggestion of his model 15 coupled 
with the A137 wavemultiplier.  Also, I like the idea of something new 
and radical like a through-zero FM oscillator.

Anyway, these are the right kind of problems to have, no?
