That's a great list. Even if you didn't change one thing you'd still have a nicer studio than most of the people here. Someone already mentioined the need for a headphone system, I'd go with the Aviom. 16 channel system, easliy wired with CAT5. Also, as was already mentioned, you probably won't need a pair of RE-20's and a pair of D112's. So get one of each and then check out the Heil mics (PR-40 and PR-30). Like everyone else I'd add some ribbons - AEA, Royer, Coles, all the usual suspects.

If I were doing this in one big shot I wouldn't piece meal the mic pre/EQ thing. I go right for a sidecar or full blown console - Daking, Wunder or Tonelux. You'd probably be able to blow off some of those outboard EQ's and mic pre's, and having everything integrated will increase your workflow. Good luck, that sounds like fun.
