How to use my work bonus..?

Ok folks, I work for the Stanislaus County Office of Education here in Modesto. I just found out we are getting a bonus on next month's (May's) check to the tune of $800 due to wise money management. I'm trying to decide how to use it. I'd really like to get a new rear bumper as the stock bumper is a plastic joke. The bumpers that interest me right now are the Warn, Demello, All Pro... I'm not really interested in the tube options. Any recomendations along with pros and cons of each would be appreciated.

Oh yeah, I'm considering getting an AR 15 too, so there's that...

If you're serious about buying a rear bumper, I've been thinking pretty hard about getting rid of my ARB. It comes with the d-ring attachment as well as the hi-clearance hitch. Its also in really good shape.

Don't have a firm price yet. I'm not looking to get rid of it til I'm sure of what it's replacement will be. Leaning towards the Red Eye Fab design but I need to see what MetalTech does with it first. The ARB works with the backup sensors too.

I realize my 2 posts might read a little contradictory, but thats where I'm at. I want a swingout bad but I have to make sure I like their revised design.
