external sequencing?
external mixing?
mostly 'popular' feature modules!
too many voices for this size case
no utilities?
consider swapping echophon for an fx aid xl - more versatile and a lot smaller!
if the case is one of the palette 104s, I'd seriously consider swapping it for a mantis - if you can find one - cheaper and more space - yeah I know 1u tiles are cute and all, but an extra 3u row is way more useful - and it's still portable - unless GF is very small and weak!

Utility modules are the dull polish that makes the shiny modules actually shine!!!
sound sources < sound modifiers < modulation sources < utilities
