Aight, as encouraged y'all knob wigglers here, I have decided to scrap my dreams of getting a Voyager and just make a killer modular. Here's my tentative setup, got a couple questions:
http://www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/107716
WHAT I NEED IT FOR: Just so you have an idea, there are main things I use my hw for.
1) Squelches and all that goodness. Judging from videos from Nectarios, Woodster and Wil here, the Atlantis and maybe an extra osc/filter etc should have that covered;
2) S&H sequences - again, Atlantis seems ideal.
3) The hard part: Big, grimy bass sequencies with evolving timbres... I'll chop them up later, but the idea would be to use the ES-4/Silent Way to get a nice groove going, and then use DAW automation into the Silent Way plugs to have a couple extra CV's for modulating filter cutoff/timbre/waveshape.
---------
So what I'm thinking is to use, in parallel, the Atlantis(with dirty fm) + STO (for sub) + Shapeshifter (vocoded, wavetable, etc) and then patch them into the Dubmix, and them maybe into the MMG for a final filtration.
So, questions:
1) Does that seem remotely sensible?
2) The dubmix - would that be able to do the parallel mixing I'm talking about, AND would that be enough of a VCA, or would I want another??
3) What obvious glaring oversight am I missing  ?
4) With the Atlantis, STO, AND shapeshifter, is the Rubicon redundant?
Thanks for bearing with a modular newb.

Have you visited muffwiggler forum? I'd search some of your queries there or ask on their eurorack subforum. You need to be quite specific in your answers as "this is my dream rack" and a link gets minimal responses as there are too many q's like that.
IMO it looks alright, but I'm very new to it as well.

I'd ditch the dubmix for a nice stg/cp3 moog mixer an optomix, a disting, an A-124 Wasp VCF and an Azimuth for stereo patches. If another slim VCA fits in the free space, I'd get another one of them.
Not going to refer to the Shapeshifter as its all down to taste, it is probably THE deepest oscillator in euro, right now.
Killer rig by the way! Its amazing the stuff you get instead of a Voyager. This modular runs circles around it.

Actually, it's next to impossible to find Doepfer in Canada without paying customs duties; Intellijel is based a few hours away from my city, and is super cheap here.
Fortunately there seem to be plenty of options in Eurorack... hehehe! But - I do love the ladder filter sound, so I may have to find something for that, too.

Replied 
Okay, the Dubmix DOES seem a bit extreme so I took it off.
However, for what I want to do bass-wise, I need a mixer with at least 2, preferably 3 channels and ideally filtering on some of those channels. One of them should have a hi-pass.
The Make Noise QMMG does basically all of that with channels to spare... but it's expensive here.
OR I could do something cheap a la Pittsburgh Modular for a mixer, and just use a separate VCF for the filtering duties.
Ideas?
Stereo, while nice, isn't essential at this point yet actually.

EDIT: Hmmm. Wasn't even thinking about second hand stuff, should be I guess.
Seems like Doepfer does a few modules still that no one else really has an equivalent for. Cool.

STO sounds very different than the Dixie VCO of the Atlantis. The Rubicon is one of the best VCOs out there...Not sure if I would scrap either out...but you get 2 VCOs in the Atlantis, 1 VCO in the STO, 2 oscillators in the Shapeshifter and one VCO in the Rubicon...that's 6 oscillators (some with sub osc out)....happy tuning! hehehe
Most basic audio mixers come with 4 inputs, you can alternatively run the output of the oscillator that you want to filter the bottom end, out of, into a high pass VCF and then add the output of that HPF, into one of the 4 mixer inputs and then adjust levels as you please.

Hahaha, just as I settled on the SS I find the Mutable Inst Braids, which is cheaper and does a lot of what I wanted anyways. Not as functional.
Man, the choices are killing me.
