If you could upgrade from the SR80i and money was not an issue and Rock was the music of choice what would be the 3 top Grado headphones to purchase.  I need to know.

Zanth's interview with John Grado is a good read.

Suggestion #1: Money not an issue? Grado HP 1000 :D

 

Suggestion #2: Turbulent X drivers housed in MartinCustomAudio wooden inner chambers, inside your SR80i cups. I would also suggest that you pick either Limba/Korina, Tiger Maple or Honduran Mahogany as type of wood, because these have been extensively compared by thelostMIDrange which he deemed better sounding than a bunch of other woods (http://www.head-fi.org/t/592921/cup-tuning-basics decide for youself whether you trust this guy or not, I personally do). Also his limba wooden cups Magnum v4 built is probably the best measuring Grado on innerfidelity.com. Finally make sure the inner wooden chambers are a perfect fit to the drivers (without the need to add any filling between the driver and the cups' hole); Martin has experience working with these drivers, he should be able to pull that out.

 

Suggestion #3: Alessandro MS2i, Alessandros are a tad more neutral than Grados but still excellent for rock. My favorite current-production “Grado” headphone.
