Someone pointed out the other day that copious amounts of outboard gear may actually be a detriment for a high end room.

Since many of the top level engineers make as much money from renting their own gear to the project (sometimes overtly, sometimes through an intermediary) as they do with their engineering fees, a room that already has all of the same stuff that they do would be less attractive than one with a great console, a great acoustic space, and less outboard gear.

And a great staff, of course.
