I would love to get some suggestions for a new pair of IEMs. I previously owned the UE Triple Fi 10 and loved it before it broke. I mostly listen to M83 songs like this:

I'm unfamiliar with the technical terms but I think soundstage would probably be the most important thing to me as I love being able to pick apart the individual instruments or pretend I'm actually there. I'd like to keep it under $450 MSRP, or $250 or so used. Most likely I'll just buy a used pair off Ebay to save a few bucks. Should I just get the updated UE 900 since it should be similar to TF10? Thanks for any suggestions!
 
Oh and I mostly listen to music from my smart phone but I do intend on building my portable amp, soon. 
 
Favorite artists:
Jeff Buckley, Bilinda Butchers, XX, Ratatat, Sufjan Stevens, Kaleida, Thelonious Monk, Emeli Sande, classical music
 
What I don't listen to:
Country, rap

Unfortunately, one piece got stepped on. I just purchased another half of the TF10 on Ebay when no one responded to this thread for a while. The other end is a custom shell so I'll have to get custom shells for both, which would run up the price quite a bit.

I'm reading up the IE80 impression thread now and it looks pretty good. Thank you very much for the suggestion. It's about $100 on ebay open boxed, which is very reasonable.
