	It depends on what you want to use the typeface for.

	Display vs text; do you want to pick up a specialty font?  Are
you doing it for text/scientific/technical?  Etc., etc.

	Also, Jim Seymour's comment is pertinent; if you're serious about
fonts and desktop publishing, onesies and twosies fonts (i.e., just one
set of fonts) aren't too hot.  You should really think about extending
your selection to beyond one set; e.g., add Helvetica 35 or Helvetica
Extra Black to what you already have to create some diversity.

	That said, let me say I kinda like the Goudy family (Goudy Old
Style, etc.) for serifed type, to give it a different, distinguished
look to some of my texts......
