I might be getting rid of my Helix too actually--not because I'm not doing well with it, but because I've really settled into what kind of tones I used most often...a really juicy clean tone and medium-high gain, but heavily saturated and thick..like a Rectifier with the gain back a little because I get some of my gain by digging in. I'm looking at the Bad Cat Lynx 50 or the Bogner Shiva 60 watt 6L6 head. I'm leaning more towards the Bad Cat I think.
Cool updates! Random thoughts: I've been trying an app called Hava which gives you a food score based on satiety. It's basically how much healthy food you eat (lean protein, veggies, minimal sugary or empty calories). Supposed to help reduce hunger naturally so you eat less. Good results so far! On amps, I dig your current setup. You have the essential Marshall, classic Vox, Suhr can do all kinds of stuff, Mesa for modern sounds, Friedman covers the in betweens. On modelers, I've been all in but moving towards pedals again and thinking about getting an AC15 too. I like digital but sometimes I just want to play! Also planning to sell my Axe 3 and some other stuff to downsize to an FM9, just makes more sense.

I gave it a year, it was fine for church but the studio or rock bands it wasn't my thing.
