1) good flash because my flash sucks and I'm always cursing it and I just wished I put the money into a good one in the first place, need to replace it.. sigh
2) remote flash trigger, as I'm getting tired of direct flash hits. I would be good to get my flash to the side or above or anywhere other than right in their fase (remember I got a CRAPPY flash)
3) big reflectors, again I ended up getting smaller ones thinking they would be good enough and I saved a few bucks, but whenever I pull them out to help with things they aren't big enough to light everything right.
Basically lighting I skimped on, and really wish I didn't, now I'm finding myself having to save up and rebuy this stuff, would have been better to just get it done right the first time.

Good tripod.
Top quality flash.
Mac Book Pro with all the bells and whistles.
A couple of DPC blues would be nice too, but not very likely. : )

Interesting for me to answer this question because I am new to the enthusiast photographer thing.I had always loved to take pictures but it's different now.
What I would do differently or add to what I have just started gathering is:
1) Studio stuff, mostly lighting so that when the weather isn't good or it's just too cold for me then I could still shoot.
2) Classes on photography to improve my skills and inspire me.
3) Photo Buddy so that when I would rather sleep late, someone else makes sure I go after that dawn shot.
Mostly what I think I would start over with is making sure that I had a great computer to process my pictures, plenty of storage to handle them and training to make them sing.
That would be 3 things times 2.
