Maybe this is a bit tautological but why would you use something you don’t enjoy using? User experience is important. Would a guitarist choose a guitar that felt uncomfortable? If you don’t like using something, it’ll end up in a drawer.
The Moogs and the Cascadia are both very playable. Still loving both.
The DFAM feels like something I’d regret selling. You can get big sounds from both, but the DFAM just does what it does easily.
Compared to the Mother though, hands down I’d go for Cascadia: for leads, for baselines, plinks, plonks, everything.

I never said the I don’t enjoy using the Cascadia, actually is the opposite.

Sorry, wasn’t meaning to imply that. I meant to reply to jrjulius.

Hey,
I’ve made some clave and rimshot patches. Nothing sexy, or complex.
The clave is just a high pithed sine with a short envelope.
The rimshot has a little bit more going on: 2 oscillators going into the wave folder, then high-passed with high resonance, then into the VCA. You can get a nice metallic tonk from the rimshot if you raise the wave folder mod amount, and increase the filter decay a little.
Clave:
Rimshot:
Hope they’re useful!

Thanks for the feedback @JacopoAcquafresca and @PeterBarata!
I’ve slept on it over and over, and there are no two ways around it: the Cascadia is in my future. Hopefully near future. But I’m definitely going to keep the Moogs because life is short and synthesizers are fun.
Plus, while Cascadia is more expensive than a modular skiff in the short term, sticking with two A+ semi-modular systems will save me from the endless tinkering and “improving” and “optimizing” that Eurorack represents. I don’t have the restraint required to leave well enough alone…
