I have a pair of SR60 which I love. I decided to take a journey and buy every model of Grado. next week I'll buy SR80. In all the pics of them I see the bowl pads. Can I put flat pads on the SR80? If so where can I buy flat pads?

yes you can put flats on any grado headphone
except the igrados

and you can buy the flats from todd the vinyl junkie

however, you may want to think about saving up for a better upgrade...something like an sr225 or ms2i...........or rs1

It probably won't be worth the upgrade form SR60 to SR80 - they are basically the same headphone anyway (the SR80 has different pads and cable, but they both have the same drivers).
I'd save up and go for the SR225 for a noticeably more refined upgrade.

I would get the 225's too.

@feh1325 thanks for the link

so the SR225 are the next step up the ladder? will I miss much skipping from the SR60 to SR225?

I would probably skip the SR125. Since you already started (with the SR60) the next logical step would be the SR225.

Thank all of you for the input.

Yup, best upgrade would probably be to SR225, then to whatever you want from there : P.

Wow, lots of love for the SR225, I bet I can even gues why

It's the headphone most similar to the RS2/RS1 for warmth. Totally love mine and keeping them until I get my hands on an RS1 of course

But for energetic music, i sometimes grab my SR80 over my 225.
Technically the 225 is superior, but sometimes i enjoy my 80 with quarter modded 414 pads better.
