Have a look at the Plan B VCO, it's based on a Buchla design and is a
fantastic VCO.

Anyone who has heard this oscillator will know that it is at least 20 
times better than any other oscillator.
Ive heard just about every oscillator out there inc ,serge,plan 
b ,cynthias thru zero,arp2500,2600,synthi 100, and it beats them all 
easily so im presuming the only reason it hasnt been done is because 
you dont know about it so mr dopefer I know you should make it your 
business to check it out your a100 system is going from strength 
strength and if you pulled this off you had have the most enviable 
modular module ever.

Which VCO is the best?

If you find a VCO that is too perfect it may seem to lack
character.  Like water or wine or whatever,
it is the impurities that give each their character.

Robert Moog used to tell people why his VCO's were so "fat."
He said it was a small amount of noise riding along the wave.

This said, it is just a matter of taste which sounds the best.

Features are another thing.  How can you bend and shape it?
A great deal depends on the other modules in your system*,
but in comparing VCO's their own features are significant.

I like the idea of separate wave forms being available.
& Log fm & linear fm & pulse-width modulation & ???.
Doepfer A-110 or A-111
and many others

I like the idea of subharmonics being available.
Analogue Solutions VCO-SUB

I like the idea of being able to morph the waveform itself.
Cyndustries ZerOscillator
Plan B Model 15
Analogue Systems RS-90 or RS-95
Blacet VCO-2100
Serge NTO

If the Buchla 259 seems to be in a class by itself
it may be because it has internally a bunch of what
others consider *external modules.  Like extra VCO?

Find the VCO that makes you happy.
But others may not share your taste.
