Sounds like you have everything you need on the Stage One if you are content with your copedent.
The one upgrade that you might miss out on is the aluminum neck and that's up for debate.

I just ordered an encore, I really want the tune-able splits and the 5th lever. |

The Encore is an all-pull guitar, so you can simultaneously raise and lower a string aand tune the split.
The Stage One is a pull-release guitar, which means you can't do splits, as raises overwhelm lowers. BUT pull-release has a different tone, which most people find more pleasing. Strings which both raise and lower must have enough slack in the raises to allow the lower to drop.

I was all set to order a Stage One as a rehearsal/'fly' guitar but Doug cautioned me by saying that, in his opinion, the SO, as good as it was, wasn't quite as successful with the 'Day' set-up. He then told me about the soon-to-be-announced (at that time) 'Encore'. He added that the new steel would be able to accommodate any set up I might want.
I took his advice and my 'Encore' (#008) has really earned its living. I can't pretend I understand the mechanical differences between the two guitars but I'm grateful to Doug for his help. I might add that, in terms of after-sales service, he has been superb.

Bummer. I wouldn't mind having a light weight guitar with pull-release mechanism. But I also play "Day copedent" so this is a deal breaker for me.
