You want to stay inside the machine - then that's what I'd probably do. 
Yes, it does become obsolete after a while, but I think it's still 
cheaper and makes more sense in the long run given the way you work.

For reverb, I'd take a Powercore. Personally, I love the TC reverbs, so 
that's the logical choice. It's not cheap, but you do get quality (I 
still *adore* my M3000 - you can buy the same VSS3 algorithms for the 
Powercore for a couple hundred pounds).

Looks nice as well, but it's not much different to something like a 
Powercore in your case: If Lexicon stops providing updated drivers, 
you're just as buggered as with a Powercore - you're already ditching 
the MPX, so you wouldn't keep the MX500 either for exactly the same reason.
