MrTricks,
I went to my local Apple centre recently - as you are thinking about how to upgrade I believe you should also start to think about HD.
An HD camera, a decent Apple Mac, Final Cut Pro and DVD Studio pro (now combined) and related cables are probably all you will ever need in the fututre.
I had a demo (they spent 2.5 hours with me altogether even though I wasn't buying and I made that clear btw) = it was genuinely eye opening, especially with HD around the corner.
Any investment in technology should look at the ability to future proof yourself as much as possible. I know that doesn't help with this question too much, however if you sold all your current kit and re-invested, you would be getting rid of good kit at potentially a better price than you will get in a year or so.
Final Cut Pro is stunningly powerful as is DVD Studio Pro. The quality of HD is almost unsurpassable and the ability to 'degrade' to SD is always available in the short term with HD versions 'already in the can' you are prolonging your capabilities with such kit.
Just thought I should mention it.

Hey you could even programme in BMax in your spare time! :)
