Xpantastic!

The modulation page looks like:
 
MOD        SOURCE     AMOUNT       DEST
4              LEV1           +57                VCF FREQ
 
You can adjust the AMOUNT and DESTwith the encoders, similar to setting mods in a matrix-6.  You clear a mod routing by pressing the SOURCE and the CLEAR button at the same time (I wonder, how do you do it in an Xpander?).  I always use this page to see what the mods are and how many I've got left, hard for me to imagine not having it.
 
For me, polyphony/multitimrality are very important which is mainly why I chose the M12.  I do lots of sequencing and often use several mono voices and one or two polyphonic voices simultaneously  That usually eats up most or all of my M12 voices.   I also like to double up mono voices, one each panned on separate left/right channels on my mixerboard.  Gives a very nice "no effects" stereo sound... but eats voices.
 
I've wished from time to time that my M12 had the CV options.  Had a pro-one once that I could have midi'ed...
 
I modded my M12 to have the ind outs.  If that weren't possible, I'd have gone with an Xpander (or two!).   Ind outs are very important to me too.
 
Of course anyone is lucky to have either of these...

Good answers all 'round... I think I am probably satisfied with the xpander as it is, short of a few drops notes on long chords occasionally (8 voices would be perfect!) I never use the CV/gate or multi-outs, but definitely prefer having them over not. (as I would definitely have to sell the xpander to fund the m12) 

One thing I haven't figured out: What does the mod-matrix page look like on the M12? Is it just a seperate page showing the routings of everything? I have never seen a picture of it.
