Hey Steve, This thread will at some point be moved to the "amateur" section of the website, but until then I would be hapy to give you a few thoughts.
Firstly, I think you doing the right direction. Hire out for those few larger shows. Let someone else to the heavy lifting, and you can worry about the music. As the band, you could even offer to help the promoter find a sound company.
If the bose work for you that is great, ask your self IF the new QSC system is, and cost, will ultimately make your band money. Sometimes, it is best just to stay at one level, and focus on making it more profitable.
you did mention that eh "directionality" of the QSC system is an issue. Why do you say this? Reading between the lines, I wonder if you are using the bose "marketing" as technical gospel. This would be a mistake.
I am also a big fan of the QRX stuff. To my ear it sounds great. But for you , and your band, there is a much larger picture to consider, then sound quality alone.
