Plan "B": Spend money on something that does something. Can the acoustics in
your studio be too good? Got too many good expensive mics?

If this is your own private studio, buying a balanced power box is basically
like saying you don't trust the guys who designed your equipment. Good
design practice yields equipment that is highly tolerant of power sources.
I can see a purpose for balanced power in a for-hire studio where clients
bring their own equipment. Somebody brings in a POS they want to use and you
want to do a nice job for them. In this case balanced power might make an
audible difference.
