My "new" baseline for any multipitch trad route

I had used the same baseline multipitch setup for about a year or so prior to recent times. I wanted a few new things and decided to do an overhaul of everything.
I took the advice to up my 60cm sling count from 4 + 2 to 5 + 2, and dropped from 2x 120cm to just 1. I also went from 2 lockers + 1 nonlocker 'extra' carabiners to just a single HMS locker. My old HollowBlock was old, so i bought a Beal Jammy to replace it. I still bring my microtraxion from time to time, but that's objective specific.
I got some Z4's from size 0.3 to 0.75 and swapped those in. I found a stuck red BD C3 which conveniently can act as my doubling up with my black totem. I also got a DMM Dragon #1 cuz I like it. I swapped all my cam carabiners from Dyons to Aether Wires, and the gear side of all my slings are also aethers as well. I was a fan of my friend's Grivel Plume lockers, so I swapped out a few DMM lockers for a few of those.
