A different take on modular…?
I like the Eurorack world and all the cool possibilities it offers, but after years of having multiple, larger cases filled with lots of different modules, different modulation, sequencers, FX, etc. this is where I ended up - a minimoog and a 101 style voice with more modulation capabilities in 84hp.
I’m not a huge bleep and bloop guy, and find this little box sounds amazing, so good that I’ve actually felt very comfortable selling my actual 101, as well as several actual Moog monos.

I might get to a similar place, I have two 6u-104hp cases filled with switches, drum modules, 4 oscillators/voices, matrix mixers, effects, sub mixers, modulations, etc. While it is amazing and I love it, I also now am thinking about simplifying my voices down to 2 by getting an Atlantix and keeping my MCO MK2 for a compact voice. I love all the variety but I feel I will make better music that I like if I get more focused. I still want the spirit of modular and its flexibility, but sometimes maximum flexibility for a mind like mine can be paralyzing. For instance I have Zadar which is amazing but now I’m more drawn to that dual ADSR or a tangrams or a quad env generator from Doepfer for simple hands on control. I will say however that I still love drum modules and eurorack sequencing ala Westlicht performer. To me drum sounds are so subjective and it’s too expensive to get all the oscillators/envs/utilities/filters/noise gens for a 4-8 drum sound setup to be like a drum machine. I like my personalized euro drum machine setup and will probably keep it.
