i think it would be hard to give you good advice based on the info provided. for example, your gear selections suggest tracking applications (mics and preamps) but, at the end, you emphasize mixing and mastering. if you wanted to go for mixing, you might make some different choices with your budget...like less mics and preamps, more outboard eq, comp, fx, or plugins, a mixer/console/summing mixer, etc.

If you really plan to do a lot of tracking/recording, be more specific. what kind of music? what kind of instruments? piano, drums, vocals, guitars? synths? other stuff? this will likely impact your gear selection. you listed a spider as a potential purchase, suggesting that you anticipate tracking several channels simultaneously. if you want just overdubs, you save a bit of money going with the flamingo and hedd, getting something sonically very similar. this is just an example. the more specificity about your needs, the better guidance you'll extract.
