What I remember is what I posted before. With more money will come more aggressive and resourced opponents, meaning he will need every dime those diamonds get him and the things that he can get from it.

The speedy getaway is combat gear, as well as the chi storage. I never understood why he only used them once.
Still, from a certain prespective, being magically tapped out is central to most, if not all, of the books, so having a chi storage handy everytime, even if it makes logical sense, would make it too easy for Harry.

Um... I think that would be impossible. The resourced part at least. :D
Kindler:
Interesting bit about his gadgets. I can absolutely picture Harry and Maggie working together on daddy-daughter art projects on the weekends. Instead of building a bird feeder out of pinecones and peanut butter, they'll make "friendship bracelets" that prevent ghost possession, stop bullets, and provide the recommended daily dose of Vitamin C.
The whole time, energy, and love thing fits. Harry loves magic. He thinks it's pretty rad, for it's own sake. While some of his Council superiors might have the ability to make things as B/A as his duster (which I can no longer think about without conjuring multiple scenes from It's Always Sunny) or his amped up Shield Bracelet Mark 2, they might not have the inclination to bother; Luccio, for example, doesn't seem to need a focus to shoot the next best thing to a laser.
I do find it interesting that the three younger Wizards (not including Molly) we've spent the most time with—Ramirez, Harry, and Elaine—have all used extremely intricate foci to do some pretty awesome things. Ramirez's gauntlet, Elaine's earring/ring/lightning chain, Harry's everything, etc. The Merlin was shown to carry a wand, and a tactical belt full of potions and other knicknacks, but other than that and Eb's stumpy staff, I can't recall any of the Senior Council using any foci of their own (not counting the Blackstaff for obvious reasons).

I don't think we can judge the gadgets of the Senior Council yet. We have not really seen them in as many varied situations as we have seen Harry which would necessitate the use of different foci. Since a foci could be anything (example silver buttons on a coat), we may have seen foci already and not been clued into their use. We will probably get a better glimpse of the Senior Council and their gadgets as the BAT approaches.
