if i were a reasonable person i would get the monitors, because i dont really have decent ones now, as is obvious from the terrible mixing in my songs.
Decent monitors will only make your terrible mixing sound more clearly terrible.

i'll prolly go with the monitors, though

If you have a good amp already your set. If not, then pick a beafy one up. If that's not possible then the active monitors you chose should have good wattage. So check those watt specs when you listen. I like some active monitors but if the spl's are important then you might be a bit dissapointed. Also listen for those internal amps to get weird sounding before they distort. Most of those active speakers have protection circuits that get a pumpy sound before they actually top out. Cheers

...although when i got my student loan i blew it on a kickass video card, and in turn spent too much time playing games instead of studying so uh...

monitors.
