The newer Stage Customs look great.
But don't forget to budget for new heads as well, if you intend to maximize the potential of the kit right away. Set aside about $200-$300+ for that. But there's no harm in taking your time and only upgrading them when you feel like it later. No rush in such things unless you have a special gig you're getting ready for.
If it's not urgent, I'd personally prefer the 2nd hand market - you really stretch your dollar and have some $$ left over for other accessories - heads, cowbells, shakers, clamps, stands, etc etc.
