The only advantage to Doepfer making these (if he could get the rights
to use the design as AS has) is that he would most likely make them
cheaper than the AS ones. The only way he could sell enough to compete
with AS would be to sell them cheaper. That of course would make the
profits less which would make less of a incentive to make them in the
first place. I would love it to happen of course because I think the
price of the AS modules here in the US is a bit steep. And the hole
offset problem means the expense of an added panel (or the drilling of
holes).
