Then live a long and happy GAS free day
We are utterly spoiled for choice of high quality gear (compared to the shit I was buying in the 80s). There isn't really a bad choice amongst them. Its now down to what people prefer
Mate, just buy a Helix LT - £849 is peanuts for what it offers !!
I cannot express how much I move this bloody Helix
Personally I think we spend too much time thinking about buying stuff, rather than using stuff effectively. The AxeFX forms the core of my system. It's works, it's stable, and my attention is elsewhere. I reconfigure effects, and change footswitches, but I don't need to change my core system. As an illustration, I've recently reconfigured the MFC footpedal to send midi messages, routed via the AxeFX, to my lighting controller. It means that I no longer need a separate lighting pedal board, and that I hardly need to think about lights whilst I'm playing.
So to @Jonathanthomas83 I can only say "you've made a choice, the best thing you can do is learn how to use it effectively".
As for the OP's question about whether I'd move over to Helix? No thanks. I could have gone for either system when I made my choice but chose the AX8 'cos it sounded better to ME and sound quality was, and still is, my key criteria. It's the main criteria for all of my music related purchases whether that be amps. Pedals, guitars whatever.
My decision criteria and my ideal sounds will be different to the next man, so it's pretty certain my gear choices will be too.
I'm cool with that.

but to me the Helix sounds much more like an amp
And the interface on the Amplifire is like trying to paint your house through the letter box.
Seriously though, what's your thinking behind that?

So now we just need to convince Kirk Hammet how cool Darkglass pedals are...
