What have you discovered while downsizing?

I am downsizing my rig to recoup some money. Although some of the downsizing hurts, I am also trying to still do the tweaking and listening and enjoying that I love, while I'm having to retreat a bit due to the economy. In the process of selling some of my gear, I have found that I am also discovering, by necessity, new combinations of gear and new synergies. I would love to hear how others are coping and keeping it fun at the same time.
