In my situation, I'd have to go cue/case combo, as I don't have something really nice yet.
In the OP's situation, I'd go with the trip/tournament option. Yes, really decking out the home table is a good option, given how much enjoyment the OP will get out of it on a daily basis, but that is something you can probably justify to yourself spending some $$$ on over time. The tournament/trip might be something that would be more difficult to justify dropping the dough on, yet could be the trip of a lifetime.
Either option sounds nice. A delightful problem to have. Come back and tell us what you decided, and how it worked out!
