Which Speedmaster to Add Next? Collection Advice

I was on the fence about the reverse panda, and came to own it because it was part of the deal in order to get the Ed White allocation from the OB. I don't regret it. I think it is probably the most comparable to a steel Daytona...

Though I think Rolex wants us to believe this Tudor BB is the more direct competitor

I like all three, but I think the Tudor's case is too thick and unrefined by comparison

I find that kind of shocking in the photo - it doesn't wear too much worse in real life...

Here's the Daytona profile vs Speedy

And the Daytona vs Tudor - you can kind of see a family ressemblance

I've been collecting and enjoying watches now for many years, and have learned a few things in the process. One of those things is that the Speedmaster is my favorite watch, all things considered.

I've now accumulated enough Speedmasters to either require a bigger box, or a second one, which got me thinking about what else I might want to consider (eventually) adding to this set.

Given the current state of the collection - which includes 5 modern Speedy Pros, 5 neo-vintage Speedy Reduced and two "non-Pros" - what might you consider adding here?

On my "when the right watch appears list":

- 145.022 w/ 220-error bezel
- and maybe a Blue dial Schumacher or Cart 3510.81/0

EDIT: I realize there is a lot here to enjoy and be grateful for, and I'm in no hurry to add things. I also realize that there are a lot of corners of the Speedmaster Universe that I am not familiar with, and curious to get some feedback or suggestions.
