My modern system is mostly MOTM - about 2 of most of modules in the line (though I still have a few kits left to build). I also have some custom modules in MOTM format (attenuators, etc.), an Encore UEG, 2 Oakley Multimixes, and 2 Synth Systems V-Shift modules (handmade by the late Larry Hendry - RIP).
I augment this with a single Synthesizers.com rack frame that only has 2 modules at present: Instrument Interface and Clipper/Rectifier, and single FracRak with a Blacet Frequency Divider and Dual Filter, a Wiard Joystick and JAG, and an M CORP Mult.
Somewhat by accident it's all American (except the Oakley PCB's), but with the US $ in the dumper it worked out well. I got all of the MOTM either used, or as kits, at older lower prices. All of the MOTM and MOTM compatible is also in rack frames.
All of the MOTM and MOTM compatible modules I have are built like tanks, are very well designed, sound great, and have actually appreciated in value. I highly recommend the Synthesizers.com, Blacet, Encore, Oakley and Wiard modules, as well.
