Personally, I wouldn't blow so much on something you're likely to upgrade.

I have not heard the PX100, but I take exception to Grado SR-60's are only good for rock and are uncomfortable. Grado SR-60's -- at least in the US are a bargain. They are great for rock and other genres in my opinion. I do not find them uncomfortable, but no they are not as comfortable as DT-880's for example. Mine are well broken in - they are at least 5 years old -- and after the original pads wore out, I tried a bunch of different pads and ended up using bowls. I do not consider them portable cans though. The cable is long, tends to twist, etc. Great phones for home, but I have never considered them portable. I have both the Koss K-75's and porta pros as well as the K-81DJ and the grado is much better than either of these. The Koss are great for the money as well. The bass is a little too strong and a bit muddy but still very portable and listenable. My K81DJ's only have about 20 hours on them (I've had them a week -- purchased to replace a pair of iGrado's that sounded fine but the cable is too fragile for portable use and failed) and they so far have too much bass and I find the mids weak and the highs rolled off. Hopefully they will improve with a few hundred hours on them, but the jury is still out. Grado's may not be portable - but I would not give up my pair. I would recommend the SR-80's so you don't need to replace the pads, but either are excellent under $100 phones. My Beyer Dt880-250 and K701's may get more head time, but I still reach for the SR-60's for casual listening, especially rock.

So, why does your suggested poll leave out the MS-1?

I use both - but I don't really consider the Grados as portable. I definitely think the Grados are superior - but If I want to walk the dog with my ipod I reach for the Senns - they are my portable choice. Although the Grados would sound much better - they wouldn't be practical for going moblie.
