I remeber AT LEAST three years ago, electronic musician had an article on
modular synthesis. The systems described were Serge, EMS, and Doepfer. The
article sparked a little interest so I tried contact Doepfer.
On and off for about 6 months I tried reaching them at their US #, which
was also being printed with an ad in the back of EM. 

Nobody ever answered the phone. For six months.
Talk about a shoddy operation.
I wouldn't jump to discredit analogue systems and the RS just becuase of
limited distribution.

Doepfer has quite a bit of respect in the field, and I believe that
analogue systems can do the same. After all they are both offering
affordable professional modular systems. What more could we ask for?
