...you're welcome.
...years ago I had a furniture maker craft a table that was low enough (just a few inches lower than your standard table) to allow the main keyboard (in your case, the Roland) to be at exact acoustic piano height...he also crafted a shelf that slid over the main keyboard, and allowed whatever you wished to be on top (like your Voyager, for example)....Maybe you could have the two Moog boards side by side on the same shelf...the Etherwave could probably live a bit off to the side, left or right depending on your preference.
...Yep, those pedals gotta go underneath... off to the side doesn't seem right. I had my table made of pine, so it wasn't heavy...the typical commercial studio table you can buy these days is usually MDF board, which is HEAVY... in case you were looking to be gig-portable with the whole rig. Detachable legs easy to craft.
...if you can hunt up a A-frame stand, like the old Ultimate Support stands, you could spray paint it (I remember many of them being very silver, quite 80's)... they used to come in pretty wide models (for those 88-key boards)
...your foogers in the rolling(?) rack unit are, of course, just fine as is... maybe get 'em closer to you. There are also laptop holders that may solve that for you, in case you do a lot of computer tweaking as you play or sequence.
The real problem with most rigs is the strain they place on the neck, as it turns in opposition to where the torso or hands are. And, yes, even if you're not the worlds' greatest KB player, ergonomics counts. Comfort = fun, and good music making.
