I'm in a similar boat in terms of my next fullsize headphone purchase. I've heard the HE-4,5,6 and didn't really like them very much, but am told that the HE-300 is better than the HD 600/50 and less like the orthodynaic cans in the HE-series. Then again, I've heard an HD 600 and it, to my ears, sounded just like an improved version of my loved-to-bits (literally) HD 595s with less harshness and more detail. I can really see why they've remained so popular and inoffensive for all these years. So should I bank on the reliable workhorse (HD 600), or put money on the less experienced but younger horse (HE-300)? It's a pickle.
I have also heard the HD 650s and found them to be a bit too thick/slow for most of my music. Still very pleasant, though.
I have very similar musical tastes to you, so I'll be interested to see what you think of what you end up with.
