Thinking about Modulars

I am seriously starting to consider buying modulars (strictly building, not investing). When I first got back into lego about 7 months ago, I decided that I did not want to build the big modulars and was set on getting only smaller creator 3 in 1 buildings for a small city scape. I should have known that would not last. Fast Forward 7 months and I have gone somewhat hog wild with some of the bigger UCS SW sets, fairground sets, and a couple retired winter village sets, bike shop, and some of the retired houses. I have put the small city scape on hold and packed up all the ones I already built. I will be moving at the end of 2017 and did not want to put time into building the smaller creator sets and putting them into a city scape at this point. Not to mention that once I got some of the bigger sets my interest in building some of these smaller sets went down. At this point I kind of regret not getting the bigger modulars right off the bat and had a little buyers remorse with some of these smaller 3 in 1 sets. Several of the sets I bought multiples of so I could build and display all the variations in a city scape (which I still might do at some point). I guess my basic question, is with many of the sets already retired, is it even worth getting into? Is Lego going to continue with this modular theme for several years? Is there a possibility that Lego might start a new line of Modulars that are bigger and closer to a 3500 -4000 piece count like some of the landmarks? I know the modulars take up some serious space, how do most of you display them? I am on the fence on what direction I want to go at this point. I really like the modulars but I also really like a couple of the landmarks like TB and BB. Not sure if I can layout the cash for all the modulars, landmarks and the sets that are still going to be released later this year, considering how much I have already spent. I should have never walked into the Lego Store!
