Importance of a patchbay?

Pondered and stared blankly at the walls... thinking of the 16-24 channel console... compressors... mic-pres... OB EQs... converters... etc i will eventually be piling into my designated space before years end....


I stopped and thought... it'll be straight forward to patch it all in at the start... when things are tame... but later on it might not be as so tame.... as money gets spent... more things mysteriously venture into the studio... (home-based) . SHOULD i start planning on buying/setting up with a patchbay and build from there or add it when its needed ? if at all.

I guess my question is .... Patchbays - veins of the studio, or a mere convience?


any insight would fall on welcoming ears

Cheers
