Okay...here is your chance pass on the wisdom so painfully earned to the newbie recording artist who will really listen. Here's the deal: I want to make a big investment in gear to upgrade my pitiful mbox protools setup to a Digi 002 portable mini studio. I have found a couple of bands that like the work I have done and have committed to doing projects with me pending my upgrade. What follows is the tentative list of gear that I plan to buy. I am open to any suggestions and my budget is around $8500 and the bands I plan to work with are hard rock outfits.

Tentative Gear List:

Computer:

Dual Mac G5: $3600

Recording Rack Gear:

Digi 002 USD. Rack: $1,200
Focusrite OctoPre LE 8-Channel Microphone Preamp $600
Furman Power Conditioner: $50
6 Space Rack Case: $100

Microphones:

1 Sennheiser E609 Silver Dynamic Guitar Mic: $110
4 Shure SM57s: $90
AKG D112 Large Diaphragm Microphone $200
MXL 993 Condenser Mics Stereo Pair: $180
MXL 990/993 Studio Package $130

Misc. Hardware and Cable:

10 boom mic stands: $100
2 low profile mic stands: $25 each
4 AKG M 70 Headphones $30
10 xlr cables: $50
Behringer B2031A Truth Active Monitors $340

Plug ins:

ATR1 Pitch corrector: $320
Factory Plug in Bundle: $350


Total: $7760.00 thus far

Does anyone you see any holes, redundancies, or unnecessary gear? Any suggestions at all would be appreciated.
