Actually, getting rid of a present set of synths and
recording equipment at this time would not be such a great
idea.

The market has many new and interesting synths with MIDI
control but none of them are much good for serious multi-
track work.  They are best suited for concert work where
new patches/background passages are needed on short order.
Remember!  When on tour, they has a large number of units
running (hopefully) togther to get that full-out sound.

Find (or keep) the synth(s) that have the sound you want
and divide everything up between what it CAN handle internally
(with sequencer & number of oscillators) and what must be
multi-tracked externally.

Also remember!  Not all MIDI machines act the same or talk
with each other!  The rule of thumb is "If you don't see it
doing exactly what you want, it probably won't".

And then there are things like the Synclavier and PPG Wave...
Ack!  Overflow!
