Hi,

I'm in very much the same boat. Still agonising over the decision, but
I'm currently more in favour of the Analogue Systems RS Integrator, if
only for patriotic reasons (I'm English). Also their MIDI interface
seems quite superior, which is important to me. Doepfer fit a lot more
modules into the 6U rack though!

What I'd really like is to be able to go somewhere and see these
machines in the flesh, but it seems that all the regular music dealers
don't touch any modular gear at all, which is frustrating.


cheers,
os.
