I agree that MTTs are lots of fun... but for me, I have to know when to draw the line. MTTs pay off very well when you place deep, but placing deep isn't the standard. The way I see it, a bigger bankroll allows me to do more things: I can play more MTTs, SnGs, and a wide variety of cash games (L, NL, Stud, etc.)
I would concentrate on building the roll a little more. Don't stop playing MTTs, but you shouldn't stop playing ring games either. Speaking of tournament play, have you thought about playing more SnGs? It's a good compromise b/n ring games and large MTTs. It's a much easier avenue to make money, while still experiencing tournament play.
