My humble opinion:
The Analog Systems RS-118 multi-mode filter is sonically
superior to the Doepfer filters. I would go that route - I just did
myself (got 3).
The Analog System's Reverb/Chorus is an interesting unit - but
don't get it if you are expecting classic reverb and chorus effects.
It has it's own personality, that's for sure. Again, it sounds great,
but it's reverb on a bad hair day and very spicey chorus. It can
also make some interesting noise with nothing plugged into it.
While not on your list, this is true of the Analog Systems Comb
Filter being billed as a flanger/phasor. I guess it does fpanging
and phasing, but you'll have to but a footnote there, cause it sure
doesn't sound like it to me. I had one and returned it. Just didn't
see any love in that one. Sounds like an Adrian Belew module -
anything going into it sounds like Ade coming out.
Also, (I may be wrong with this), but I believe that the Analog
System's Frequency Shifter, which I have not heard but it's
supposed to be terrific, will want two audio-range sources into it.
I only see one VCO on your list - you are getting more than one,
yes
