Honestly there's no reason if you're content with the sound of the HD800s.
The marginal utility of more expensive headphones drops off really quickly due to the fact that the added money for "better" sound isn't a linear curve but starts to flatten out instead so for the majority of people there's no reason to ever go past mid-range headphones. They just simply will never notice the difference unless critical listening is their hobby or part of their job.
That and there's no common metric of good, much like how someone could like the K712 and hate something much more expensive like the HD800s.
Sound signature wise technically there is a metric of good but it's a very general metric (Harmon Kardon target response curve and a bunch of other tangible measurements) since there are people who actually prefer a v-shaped sound signature or something else over a natural sounding one.

I love my HD800 so much that I wanna buy another HD800 and HD800S for teh luls. tbh.
No kidding but I'm trying to sort things out with my amp first.

Which amps are you looking at?
I compared the HD 800 on the 430HAD and HDVD 800 and didn't hear a difference despite the large price gap. I usually favor EQ over fancy amps anyway, since that gives you so much more control over the sound, and doesn't cost anything either.
You guys know that feel when you've effed up so bad that it feels like it's gonna be the end of the world and there's nothing more to live for?
...
I just corrupted my entire RAID because of some stupid impulsive action and I don't have a backup.
wanna craw inside a hole right now :/
Probably because you never got yourself used to HD800 sound itself for a long time. Sure, you can EQ but you still want $9000 amp anyway.
