i think spending more money on gear won't improve your results, only patience will. if you don't have it you should stick with de, m3 or fusion - most of the western world uses them and they seem to be doing ok. i wish you would continue trying straights, but somehow i have the feeling you've already lost your motivation in which case encouraging you would be pointless.
