I have noodled around with synths for over 20 years and have owned
several through that time. However, the A-100 system I just started
is my first real analog modular.

I asked over on the Plan B board about availability of 'round 2' of
the 259s and Peter responded by saying there is about a 2 week lead
right now out of bigcitymusic. (I assume the last of the first round
are being finished up now.) I will probably order one as soon as I
find the 'spare' money after all the other initial A-100 modules I
want.

Having said that, I went with a pair of 111s for my first VCOs. IMHO
VCOs are like the foundation of a custom house - if they don't do
what you need them to nothing else will matter. If you are not doing
things needing extra linearity, stability, and features then it is
certainly a waste of money. Just my $.02
