It's a tough call. You already have some great gear.

Maybe, if you could narrow it down to what you feel you are lacking it would help us in assisting you on your decision.

What about mics? You did not really elaborate on this very essential element.

You have the STC-8, so even though I adore the Alan Smart SC2, I dont think it is absolutely necessary.

Perhaps an opto compressor or two. I have the ADL 1000 and, love it.

How many channels of compression do you need?

Even though I have a pair of 192 w/ expansion cards, I still go AES out to a Benchmark DAC-1.

Do you not feel that the clock on the HEDD is sufficiant? You could definately save some cash in this department if you stick with the HEDD.

In terms of the G5, I would say hold out just a bit longer when Apple finally releases the second generation. They are rumoured to have much better performance and additioal features. I have one of the current ones, though I wish I had waited.
