This man is correct, get the hell out of here while you still can!
 
BUT... If you're asking what you could improve, is it merely upgraditis or is there something you want from this rig that you're just not hearing? If you give us a description of what you want, we could suggest things to improve on that. BUT FOR GOD'S SAKE, DON'T TELL US SO WE CAN'T ANSWER, TAKE YOUR WALLET AND RUN.

I was in your same situation not too long ago.  While I had good headphones I always yearned to hear what the highest tier sounded like.  With that said, why not try the T1? You seem to have everything in the beyerdynamic lineup except for their BEST headphone.  I wouldn't be able to stop buying until I at least tried the best they have to offer.

Well, I decided to give this DIY idea a shot. Took the bowl pads off of my MS-1i and attached a burger to either end. The melted cheese makes for a decent adhesive, but I may try to find a more permanent solution. Bass response and soundstage see a marked improvement, though I'd consider replacing the pickles with dynamat discs to keep resonance under control.
 
Since the burger pads worked so well, I decided to try replacing the stock cable with a string of french fries (apply dry, tacky ketchup at the terminals of each fry). The sound was lacking at first, but I think I prefer it to stock after some burn-in (try frying the cable until crispy and several shades darker). All in all, a very worthwhile mod. Just make sure to rinse the beef grease out of the ears after extended listening sessions.
