Default What should my next orchid(s) be? :)

My addiction is growing stronger! Must.. Have... MOARRR... The best part? Everyone already thinks I'm crazy. I figured it would be wise to stick with types that'll get along with what I already have. Or at least something fairly easy to grow. As temps can get lower than zero occasionally, but higher than 100°F,
I think it's just better for me to stick with the intermediate temp loving chids. The house stays 58°F - 70°F in the winter, and lower than 40% humidity without additional components. I think it gets above 80 in the summer, with high humidity!
I have:
Phal noID
Lc. Final Blue
Lc. Mari's Songs..
Paph. Sukhakulii
Paph. Ho Chi Minh (Delenatii X Vietnamense)

I like these, in a broad sense:
Dendrobium
Vanda
Oncidium
Phrag
[catasetum Alliance <- for when I'm more experienced? I do like these though]

From what I have read, they don't seem to be too difficult and may suit me for what I can provide.
-I do have a setup where I can provide high humidity all year too.
-I prefer inorganic potting medium(like LECA), But it's not necessary.
-I can mount some small orchids in my set up.
-I can provide extra lighting.
-I prefer compact or mini sizes. Unless they can tolerate my normal house temps, low- mod lighting, and variable humidity all year round.
-Near blooming size (within a year at least)

I basically want a little of everything. I did a search through Andy's and 2 dendros came up.So maybe this would be my best bet? I'm surely going to add on anyways..

I'd love to hear some suggestions, if you want to. Having more prevents me from focusing on just one. I found out that my phal is happier without me constantly inspecting it.
I'm becoming an orchiaddict. Sounds like a disease
