7K to spend on a paladin to make a big impact, what should I buy?

[trist4n]

I've already got my paladin fairly well geared. He's a dwarf with the following items:

• Full set of plate
• 2x 4ac 4hp rings
• Crested MM Shield
• Sword of the Morning | Nagavant blade (or whatever it is, the cheap but decent 2hs)

My question to you is, how should I spend I spend 7k on this char to make a big impact? With that in mind, I am nervous to buy an FBSS right now because I am thinking they are going to drop in value big time once Vel comes out. Thoughts?
