The two Bose will be used for doing concerts, and time is not that critical for setup.
I cut back on the number of gigs, and started charging more money...and you know what?
It is working.
The two Bose will go in my Honda along with everything else...the back seat flips down, and it has a good sized trunk...the S900 is small, as is my bench and stand....no problem.
I can relate to being "in the trenches" but I finally decided to "go over the top" and take the risk of charging more and playing less often...just lucky for me that it worked out.
The Bose will let me fill a theatre and still keep the stereo I love.
As you always say...it will pay for itself after a few gigs.

PS...I still have my Yamaha MS60S system for the occasional restaurant gig.
