Forgot to mention that I have pretty much decided to get some AKG k701s. Another reason that these HR packages are appealing to me as they include the K701s- especially the balanced package as it includes a balanced K701.
I had (thanks to a local Head-fier) the chance to audition them briefly and found it to be matching what I was looking for in a headphone: clear, detailed sound. I was worried that there wouldn't be enough bass but after hearing them I discovered that there was plenty of bass. Almost too much- but they were being driven by a tube amp and I figure that going SS will not be quite as warm which would be just right for me.
The ER4Ps would remain single ended, and would be used occasionaly on the amp (as they would defeinitely benefit), perhaps even I would add the 4P-4S converter and get an ever better sound from them when amped?

PS looks like I did mention the k701s in the OP, again I'm basically decided that they are the phones I would like.
