As always, Lugia has the insight! Seriously, thanks for the comment. I didn't think about logic modules (obviously) and that will definitely be the next thing I dive into.
As for size, this is definitely something just for creative fun. I have 15U at 128 hp in my office, but I wanted this to have down in the living room as something to play with and distract me from the larger collection of modules. Totally get you though - to truly get into a generative patching scheme I'll need more space to allow more utilities.
As a side note, I haven't dug into the forums enough, but is there a collection of Lugia best tips? I mean it - you always have great suggestions and insight into the eurorack world, and if there is a compendium of your "best of" that could be helpful.
Thanks again!
