Feedback on first rack?

https://www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/1956654

Hi all. I have Mother32/DFAM/Subharmonicon. Want to take the plunge into fully modular to add some voices and effects, mostly interested in ambient and generative music. Appreciate all of your feedback.

Case: Artura Rackbrute 6U. Looks pretty nice, leaves some space to grow but isn't too huge.

O_C: To use mostly as a Turing Machine, but also I can take advantage of all the other things it does. (Probably hemispheres). I also have a generative sequencer I wrote in Python and this can serve as MIDI/CV interface for that as well.

Plaits: needs no explanation

Surface: I really like the sound of physical modeling. I guess it would be between this one and Rings but figure less overlap between Surface and Plaits.

Quad VCA: YCNHTMVCAs

ZVerb/EchoZ: I want reverb and delay modules, and I can get these two pretty inexpensively. If I were to spend more it seems like Noise Engineering Desmodus Versio/Imitor Versio would be an upgrade to these? Worth it or are these fine?

Stages: envelopes, lfos, sequencing

Next up would probably be Pamela’s but I can use the O_C as a clock for now.

Anything important obviously missing? Any egregious mistakes here? I already have Plaits, Stages, and the Mixup but all the rest are open to change. Thank you!!
