I have Wusthof classics and love them. Out of the big 4 (Wusthof, Henckels, Shun, Global), it came down to that I hated the hollow, slippery handled globals, the shun didn't work for me as a left hander and I thought that Wusthof>Henckels.
The only knife that I'm really looking to add is a 9 or 10 inch slicer. For that, if I just don't go with a hollow edge Wusthof, I might look to try one of the Japanese makers that Jim recommends.
