You are experiencing gear lust.  Like all lust, it's beyond reason. It 
comes from the loins, not the brain.

I own 3 lust-worthy electric harp setups, several mics that I like 
plenty, and a bunch of effects boxes that make very cool sounds.  Every 
time I tweak my setup, I find that I'm satisfied with the sound for a 
year or so. Then I want something more.  There's nothing wrong with the 
stuff.  It still sounds great.  I just want more--or different.

It's a big waste of time and money.  The money is the least part of it. 
 You can get more money. You can't get back the time that you spent 
chasing a new setup to replace the perfectly good setup(s) you already had.

It's lust, pure and simple.  Fight it.
