MOTM in smaller Doepfer/FracRak formats?

http://www.synthtech.com/motm.html

In via AH. This could equate to lower prices on some select MOTM modules as well as the smaller format. If you are unfamiliar with modular synthesis, think of them as the legos or erector sets of the synth world. You buy individual components of a synth and patch them together to do what you want. You can buy complete systems from different manufacturers or you can buy individual modules and mix and match. Typically you will want to rack the modules into a case, cabinet, rack or other fixture of choice (really wish I had a good picture here). Different manufacturers typically adhere to different dimensions for their modules so they can fit nicely together in a rack. MOTM modules are similar in size to Moog, while FracRack and Doepfer are considerably smaller. If MOTM does this, you can now house MOTM modules with your favorite FracRak and Doepfer modules and... you can possibly save some money.

The following is a good chart on some differences between different modular systems:http://www.modularsynth.com/chart.html. Track back to http://www.modularsynth.com for general info on modular synths. Be sure to check out MOTM, also a great resource.
