Help choosing cab/head

Wow, who knows what i could do with $1500. I am shrewd and have pretty good luck trading. I have an Ampeg SVT 3 Pro and an Avatar 2-12 Neo that I have a total of $530 in rougly (cash and trade). I also have an Eden wt-400 and Ashown 4-10 & 1-15 cabs that I have about $750 into. Cash talks and be ready to walk away, then people usually change their tune. I am a fan of used for the bang-for-buck factor.
 
I'd say skip the amp and invest in a good monitor, or pair of monitors. You should be using them anyway, so why not put your bass through it and be done with it? Having an amp in a church is usually more hassle than help, especially in your size congregation (I know, I'm in the same situation). I'd focus on a solid preamp/DI box, or both.
