I'd definitely agree.  I'm in the process of putting together a 
stripped-down setup built around a Titanium G4, but which also includes a 
small rack of outboard and indispensable hardware.

As an example of a slightly unorthodox approach, one of the hardware 
modules I'm speccing into the architecture is an Electrix Repeater.  It 
does a great job of looping, so if there's a crash I can quickly improvise 
a huge wall of sound to cover until I can reboot.  In addition, it allows 
you to load/save loops and tracks on solid-state media cards, which is very 
kewl IMNSHO.

For instance, I'd love to take my K5k, my Prophet, or my precious little 
Sidstation out on the road, but I just don't feel right taking the gamble 
they might get stolen or destroyed.  With the Repeater, I can simply loop 
their parts in the studio and save to card.  During performance, I'll bring 
'em back up on demand then layer, distort, and manipulate in realtime.  Not 
*quite* as good as having the real thing onstage, but it'll do...
