...what gaps do you see? What ukulele type/style/make am I sorely lacking? I don't play amped or do gigs. Just for fun around the house for family.
Thoughts?

You're missing a concert scale, and you're missing a "K-brand" or anything with solid koa, just as an idea. What do you see or hear in your ideal uke?

I see from your "current" signature that you have added a SpruceHouse SO, possibly pdxuke's, so I guess you found something to add.

Here's what I did: I decided that buying and trying many different ukes, even if I then sold some of them at a slight loss, was the cost of my education. I do not regret this; as a result, within the year, I've played many ukes for as long as I needed to be able to tell if they were for me, and if they weren't, moved them out. As a result, a focus has emerged for me. This may work for you as well.
This is the approach I am taking. Is it cost effective? HA!
But am I learning anything about what I like/dislike? Absolutely.
As an example, my first uke was the Kala tenor. A great uke, but too much like playing a slightly smaller guitar. I think the Kala is a great uke, but I may sell it as I tend to be more focused on soprano or concert size now. I also like vintage stuff, too.
You need a "K" brand uke.
