Another thing to remember is that there are more than Doepfer making modules in the Eurorack space - there are over 40 different module makers. You will NEVER run out of options for expansion. If the Doepfer filters don't work for you there are plenty of others to choose from that will slot right into your cabinet right next to the Doepfer ones. There are many VCO and controller choices too. The Eurorack ecosystem is huge and still growing. Go to Analogue Haven ( http://www.analoguehaven.com/ ) and look at what is out there. Doepfer in general are less expensive than most of these smaller companies. Doepfer been doing this longer and have a wider product range but When you want to move on there are many of places to go - you rig will never get obsoleted for sure.
