What should I add next?

Now that I have about $200 in gift cards, I'm thinking about adding something to my pedal board. I am considered the following but wanted to get some thoughts and feedback:

Line 6 digital wireless system (which would make is easier to switch between guitars - electric and acoustic)
Boss Blues Driver (trying for a vintage sound...not that I can play like that yet)
Digital Delay (maybe something from Boss like a DD3, 7, or even 20)
Boss Loop Station (either RC2 or RC20XL)

I have also been considering a multi-effects unit for the Line6 POD X3 Live (with the vocal effects feature) or Boss ME-70 but not sure I want to go this route and scrap my current pedals.

I am in a relatively new worship band doing traditional, gospel, and contemporary praise and worship visiting different churches, events, retirement communities, etc.

Here is a list and picture of my current gear:
Gretsch Electromatic 5120
Takamine 12 String EG-335SC
Marshall AS100D Acoustic Amp (includes internal effects such as reverb, chorus, flanger, and delay)
Fender Champion 300 (practice) Amp
Zoom 504II Acoustic Guitar Multi-Effects Pedal (used primarily for my acoustic)
Danelectro D-2 Fab Overdrive Pedal (not really happy with this but maybe it is user error)
Marshall Regenerator Multi-functional Modulation Pedal (chorus, flanger,
phaser)
Behringer CS100 Compressor/Sustainer Pedal
Peterson StroboFlip VS-F Virtual Strobe Tuner

If you're thinking about a multi-effect unit, you want the Line 6 M13. There's no amp modeling, just effects. It's also the stupid easiest multi-effect to use ever and happens to sound terrific. Basically it's all of Line 6's effects (DL-4 "the green delay pedal", DM-4 distortion, MM-4 modulation, FM-4 filter modeler, plus reverbs) in 1 easy to use box. I run 2 homemade pedals (a distortion and a compressor) and the M13 into my tube amp. You can toss your Zoom, Dano, and Marshall effects. Keep your Behringer compressor if you like it. Every guitarist I know wants one of the M13's after they hear it and see how it works. I also use it for those rare occasions where I do acoustic duty, just straight into the M13 for some delay or reverb and out to a DI box.

Anyway, just thought I'd throw that out there as an option. At $500, it is more expensive than you stated your range was, but the X3 costs that much as well and you said you thought about that.

So basically, check it out.

Thanks for the info. I'm starting to watch some videos on the M13. What are the major differences between the M13 and the X3s?

Check out Line 6's site. The M13 only has effects, whereas the X3 has a limited set of effects plus amp, speaker, and mic modeling. There is a much larger selection of effects in the M13, and they're more tweakable as well. Also, the thing just works like a huge pedalboard---you don't have to fiddle with saving patches, balancing patch levels, etc.

Some of the best examples of the M13 on youtube are by a user named Stilwel. Here he is getting the sound for "Mighty to Save"
