You have an Ma5, would you consider selling it?
I sold all my 500 series gear ages ago.
How come? Are rack units better?
Depends, as Nymo said they can be a pain with cables and the like, I prefer a patchbay, also headroom is usually an issue, not so much as in I need super hot levels I just find once they start being pushed harder they sound a bit lame compared with most of my other 19" rack gear.
Use very conservative levels through them though and they sound ok mostly. Buzz Audio make some pretty good modules and so does JLM, I actually prefer the JLM stuff.
I've mostly bought older German made modules which are giving me way better results.
Oh yeah and the Ma5 sometimes it sounds good to me sometimes not so good, not my type of sound though.
