Default HDX or A NEW MAC PRO WITH UAD SETALITE?

Hey y'all
So I am digging in my mind and maybe in yours.... For the past few days ...
I have an HD 3 Accel , protools 10 and Mac Pro quad 2.8 harper-town computer. I feel that I need some more juice... I mix and record in 44.1 but when I get sessions in 88.2 or 96... I know I have insufficient resources to mix freely...
I am in a cross road...: should I upgrade to HDX and a new quad core Mac Pro? - allowing me 60 more voices and judging from posts here and in GS... Better session handling , faster session opening... And over all better sound ... Ofcourse being ready for pt64 bit.... BUT and it's a big but... I am a waves user I have allot of waves stuff everything in TDM....and though I know allot of people praise HDX , I hear allot of other people saying it is not as stable and rock solid as HD accel...

Second option is to keep the HD 3 accel system , enjoy the new Omni interface I ordered which should arrive to my studio in the next few days ... Sell my Quad core for the new 12 core monster... That would make me benefit from the native rtas count and save the TDM power for voices and Heat and delay compensation. And adding The UAD 2 satellite for additional processing power.... Keeping my Waves plug in which are more then essential and my tc reverbs which are priceless ....

Both options are not cheap... But unfortunately I have to make a move... Either way... Would you help me make my mind.... I am tired from thinking about it all day long....
