I would concentrate on mics mics mics. You seem set with a small variety of preamps which is great.
I don't see a killer LDC.
I don't see any omni mics.
I don't see enough mics to take care of a drum kit.
I don't see a ribbon.
I would maybe suggest looking at:
ADK TT: Killer LDC especially for less than $1k. Also consider the AT4060. Just about any singer could walk up to these mics and sound good with very little effort.
The Avenson STO-2's are awesome natural omnis. Great room mics, really great for anything you want to sound like it sounds right where you're standing.
The E/V ND468 are great tom mics, and double as great cab mics for extremely tight sounding tracks. They give you a pretty focused tight sound (hypercardioid) and have very little bleed. They excel on drums and guitar cabs and some vocals.
The AEA R92 is the latest offering from Wes Dooley...and they rock! You simply cannot beat a ribbon 95% of the time for guitar cab mic'ing and it's a great natural acoustic guitar sound etc. Makes a great vocal mic for different flavor there as well. Drums get a nice big old school sound as well. The figure 8 pattern is a nice addition to your collection as well. AEA ribbons take EQ exceptionally well also.
You may be surprised how much it costs you to cable up the room as well, or have you figured that in already to your $10k available? Also, room treatments etc can rack up quick.
Do you plan on mixing in the box? If not, you may want to explore some great stereo eq's and compressors that will offer you versatility at mixdown on the stereo buss.
