Lepous, Tse, and Redwirez

This coming January I'm coming home from the Airforce and want to upgrade my studio. The Budget so far is 10-15 Grand. I'm going to put a list of things I wanted to get. But I don't want any regrets later so I want you all to tell me whats not a good buy or whats a better upgrade within my budget in your opinion.

1) Alesus Usb Studio Drum kit
2) Auralex Roominator kit 2
3) Real Traps Pvb (Im pretty sure I saw it in Joeys Studio in a TDWP update)
4) Furman PL plus Dmc
5) Seinheiser HD 280 Pro
6) Lynx Aurora
7) Yamaha Sub woofer
8) Ergo (To add to the room control -I'm in an apartment)
9) Avalon vt 737 sp
10) emg pickups for my Gibson
11) Cables Misc.
12) i7 16 Gigs ddr3 3.40 Ghrtz and a decent Graphics card
13) Debating On Podfarm, Axe Fx 2, Eleven Rack (Really need help with this one)

It's hard for me to try things out and find out about good gear in the military my schedules demanding so any help, recommendation, opinions would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Guys

countryman 85 DI box is a must i would say, pod farms awesome, but i hear a lot of talk about axe fx
on the plugin side, waves l3 mm, and l2 are awesome to have if you don't already, and im thinking about trying ozone out because of the results

Axe FX if you have the $. Pod farm if you don't.

I'll actually recommend the Eleven Rack. As long as you get the expansion pack. I've got one and I've got some tones that I'm pretty stoked on. You can also record a dry signal to process later if you want. I've found that it sounds more realistic than the Axe FX imo.

Definitely get a DI box (I personally favor the Radial J48) and podfarm/an axefx unit.

are you going to record real drums, or only e-kit?

E drums for now
