Thank you all! This is what some of my guitar friends told me... I will just "bite the bullet" and get a Helix LT, it's really a bang for your buck and in Black Friday we can maybe expect some sweet deals!

I have not owned any Line 6 products but demoed an HD500X once. I am looking for a budget-friendly rig, and have considered many options, to which I narrow to 2. My options are: -Owning an HX stomp, with an additional, mission exp pedal, and an OCD and Fulldrive that I already own. This is about 720 bucks. OR -Owning an HD500X for 550 bucks. I know that the first option will sound really good, due to the great selection of amps/FX/IRs/Cabs + the versatility of using the HX stomp by itself for lightweight gigs and recordings or integrating it into a pedalboard which BTW can become quite heavy if I fill it with all the external pedals and MIDI and other add-ons to the HX stomp. However, the HD500x really sounds good if you sit with it for some time and tweak it to your liking+ external Cabs like mooer radar (yea... its stock cabs don't sound THAT great), BUT it is budget-friendly compared to the first option. So, please, I would like your suggestion on what would be better considering my budget and versatility of weight, tone, and uses.
