I think its fairly clear at this point that the wiard modules in 
production are intended to be creative expansions for other 
frac-rack type systems (blacet, paia, etc). If a person wanted 
more "traditional" modules for example they'd probably find it 
easiest to get a blacet vco/filter/vca/etc and stick them in the 
same rack. The 300 series is, I think, a historical peice being 
rare and unavailable and if collectors want to drive up the value 
for that reason then that particular synth will be shifted from a 
users market to a collectors market. There will be plenty of other 
options more reasonably priced tools to suit many different 
tastes I'm sure. I myself am fascinated by the idea of the JAG 
and will probably get one soon.
