ABM-
All I can tell you is that if you were doing this 20 years ago you would have needed to add several zeroes to the end of that cost to get the same kind of equipment. This is a great time to be buying electronics. (Conversely, it's a lousy time to be selling or manufacturing them.)
I really think you're in pretty good shape with your choices. The Behringer stuff doesn't sound that bad, especially for the price. I don't know anything about the MG series, but, knowing Yamaha, they're probably going to sound fine.
Check THIS out for a monitor possibility. Free shipping if you can spend over $299.00 total!
Two other things- For what it's worth, your addition is wrong on your revised list, it only adds up to $895.00, not $915.00! (You can send me the extra $20.00!) The other thing I was wondering was where you are buying SONAR for $200.00? Studio edition sells for $299.00 as far as I know, even the academic version is $249.00. If you're buying it on E-bay, be careful that you're getting a legitimate copy that hasn't been registered. Cakewalk is a great company that trusts it's customers to pay for their product and they reward us by not burdening it with oppressive copy protection. They charge fair prices and offer great support. I think it's in our best interests to weed out anyone trying to pirate the software.
If you're not going to be doing any MIDI, you might try Guitar Tracks Pro 3. You can always upgrade to SONAR later on.
There are other options out there that will still do the job for you. Don't get discouraged!
