You've really made me think. I'm going to hold off from going to sequencing in the rack, my case is nearly full and I think I'd rather fill it in with smaller useful utility type modules than a huge sequencing module.
If I was going to move to a bigger case fair enough, but no plans to just yet.

All good. Euro sequencers always look fun in videosā¦ but unless you need/want CV control over them to do something a midi sequencer canāt (eg rapid resets, extreme tempo changes and randomisation and stuff), I just struggle with the cost/benefit aspect.
Iām not someone that is āall inā on eurorack though. If philosophically you want everything in the rack then I get it.

I've never done sequencing in eurorack that's any more complex than the Intellijel Steppy 1U (which is gate triggers only). I've always used an external sequencer going into a midi>cv converter (Intellijel Midi 1U). Mainly that is the Digitone. I just find it quicker / easier and more powerful. Not to mention cheaper. The Metropolix on its own is almost as much as a Digitone and it's really a very basic sequencer in comparison. You have to really want to keep everything in the rack, or strongly prefer the interface of the Metropolix. It does seem like it has a particular workflow that can be nice for sort of knocking something into shape, rather than starting by knowing exactly what you wanted.
There's the Erica Black Sequencer - https://www.ericasynths.lv/shop/eurorack-modules/by-series/black-series/black-sequencer/ - which might be a slightly cheaper option in a similar vein.
Apart from that, dunno, buy my Cirklon? š
