I would really enjoy to test some new arduino stuff. I got some projects in mind, like a midi controler or a 3d printer that would be good to have arduino stuff to do it.

I'd be keenly interested in some low power wireless (ZigBee, 6LoWPAN, DASH7, etc) demo kit. TI has some nice stuff as do some of the other vendors. The "smart lightbulb" that Google is coming out with…

It's probably time for some smd tools.
You have a very affordable rework tool (part No 2062633) that is within the grasp of most serious hobbyists.
A hot plate for making new boards or repairing others.
Some tools to use, and including a large magnifying glass for all us 'limited vision' soles.

Your road test should specify a video, just so others can see how its done.

Some small tester boards to go with those tools would be a good idea as you obviously need something to try them on before you start hammering expensive boards in anger

Even though I'd hate to miss out on the Network Analyzer, SMD tools would be very nice indeed.
