The two things I don't see on your list are 1) an all-purpose multi-pattern condenser, like the Gefell UM70, AKG 414, etc, and 2) a stereo pair.
Good point about the all-purpose multi-pattern condenser!

Not sure about the stereo pair, mainly because I'm recording solo instruments. Is it a concern how much room recording in stereo would pick up?

The other wishlist item would be a great reverb, like the Bricasti (which I haven't sprung for... yet). The Lexicon plugins are great, and so is Altiverb. But scoring often relies on putting things in the right sonic environment, so if you're recording in a small room you're going to need excellent verb.
I bought the Bricasti M7 a few months ago. Best $3.5k I've ever spent!
