Must-have for MiniBrute 2/2S owners that want to go modular - minor qiubble though...

Pairs perfect with my 2S, but why did Arturia decide 5hp was needed for the power module? Why a power module at all?? I'd much rather have a switch and power input on the side. It's just wasted space. Also, they say 88hp, but I get 89hp out of mine as an FYI. It's powered all my modules and is at full capacity atm, and is generous in the number of connectors available. As a whole it's a great buy, and my only complaint is with that silly power module.
