Going from a MOTU to a Lynx Aurora is a pretty massive difference. Couple that with nice cabling, good room treatment, proper monitor control and good monitors, and you've got yourself a pretty sweet setup. After that's all done, then start looking at preamps, eqs, compressors, etc.

If the core of your studio is lacking why does it make sense to spend lots of money on high end outboard gear? It's like having a Porsche 911 Turbo with a Yugo engine and transmission. The outside looks great but it doesn't run anywhere near how it should.
