Module/case suggestions for expanding my Subharmonicon?

Earlier this year I got a Moog Subharmonicon, and a little later a Moog Grandmother. I’ve been loving the semi-modular nature of these synths, and patching them together has been really fun and produced some really interesting results for me. That said, I’ve found this setup to be slightly limiting in a few ways, and while I had briefly considered getting another semi-modular synth, I’m currently thinking I‘d be better off expanding my current setup with just a few modules to fill in the gaps I’m finding.

In particular, I’d love to have at least one more LFO, one more way to sequence pitch CV (I like the subharmonicon’s sequencer but it’s not always what I’m looking for), a dedicated source of percussive sounds, and possibly a quantizer. I’m not really looking for more VCOs at the moment since I’ve got plenty between the two synths I currently have, but something like Plaits or Basimilus Iteritas Alter could be cool for my percussion needs (and they’re even still useful for melodic purposes which is a bonus). I’m also not particularly interested in FX modules since I almost always prefer to use my DAW for that sort of thing. All that being said, I’m definitely open to other suggestions for stuff that plays nice with my current synths.

I was considering getting one of Intellijel’s 4U 62hp cases and putting the Subharmonicon in there with a 2hp LFO, and then I’d have room on top for a few 1U tiles. Thing is, I don’t really know where to start looking for good 1U tiles (and from what I hear, only Intellijel’s tiles are compatible with their cases?). My other option is looking for a simpler 3U case somewhere in the 70-100hp range and only using standard 3U modules, but again I don’t really know where to start looking.

So yeah, any suggestions for some good expansions? For reference, when it comes to hardware synths I tend to focus on ambient music and synth pop, but in general the more versatile the better. Here’s a piece I recently made with the Subharm/Grandma setup. Thanks in advance!
