You'll never regret a buying decision like that. 3 RNPs would be pretty close to your budget and the quality would leave the setup you are thinking in the dust.

Yeah that is a plan, the only thing is live jamming wouldnt really work with that setup, relying on one well placed mic in a room full of spill could be quite tricky. If i wasnt so far away from the actual "live room" (if you can call it that) i would go down the route of just feeding everything through headphone mixes and use a combination of guitar rig and amplitude for everyones mixes so i could get away with everyone playing live but only capturing the drums but itd involve a fair bit of messing and jiggery pockery in my rack and more kit. im kinda stuck atm, my desk was good for such things but it was also a pain in the rear.
Cheers for all the help tho, think im gonna have a long sit down and plan out exactly what i can do before jumping the gun
