Well, I definitely wouldn't change anything about my spending habits. 
The only thing I bought even related to official modern DnD the last few 
years were some of the WizKids minis.

Harn has a few issues of it's own (namely: it's bloody expensive 
compared to everything else), but it has it's own merits. I think the 
original HarnWorld is the most well-thought-out DnD/ADnD campaign 
setting ever made. And I really dig the later products as well, although 
mostly for the worldbuilding in itself.
