I have Live 10 that has CV tools so I'm not necessarily trying to run a clock/modular self contained setup as I sometimes use the DFAM with Ableton but I'm considering getting either the Mother 32 or the Neutron.
No question, Neutron.
I've got both, and the DFAM, the 0-coast, and a couple of grendels - Neutron has quickly become my favorite semimodular and a key part of my entire synth setup. The Mother, might be my least favorite of the bunch.
I find the Neutron to be much more intuitive and immediate - I can dial something interesting in more or less right away, where the M32 leaves me constantly fiddling and never particularly impressed with the result. Unless you need the sequencer on the Moog, which is fiddly and a general pain in the ass, the Neutron has a wider feature set - more (and more usable) patch points, the delay and OD circuits are both alot of fun even if they are basic, two ADSRs, two oscs, etc. And you probably don't need the sequencer if you're running Live.
Really the more time I spend with the Moog, and the more I get comfortable with modular in general, the more disappointed I find myself in the M32. At this point, I'm probably going to move it in my next big sell off.
