There are some ok Behringer pedals and a bunch of bad ones. I tried a Neutron and it was ok, though nothing to write home about. And it's Behringer.
Personally, I hate Behringer with a passion, and I also hate people who buy plenty of cheap gear because it makes for cheap music to me. Although obviously, some cheap stuff can be very good. But I go for the quality over quantity route all the time and I think it's worth it. I'd rather buy less and better.
No Coast is good for what is, and a good entry point to the modular world. With that being said, it's important to keep in mind that MN is a company people into modular feel VERY strongly about (on both sides of the spectrum) and one of the reasons is the fact most of their gear is difficult to grasp when you have no clear idea about what you're getting into because of their graphic designs. I think a No Coast is not going to help if you want to understand what you're doing and you're just beginning in the modular world. For instance, I have a Maths, which I love, but I had to change its panel because it made no sense to me, with its arrows everywhere, its odd lettering, etc...
Oh, and slightly related, two months ago I bought new monitors for my synths and "studio" (lol), like, proper ones made for mixing and stuff (they weren't that expensive, a few hundred euros.) Needless to say, I rediscovered all my gear and it definitely made the experience of using it much better. People shouldn't pass on good monitors.
