Ray, you actually have two problems. The first is which bikes to keep. That seems pretty easy: the do everything Atlantis, the go fast Romulus, and the IGH Jamis for riding in real slush & muck.
The bigger question is understanding why this happened and how to keep yourself from repeating the problem (OK I own 4 singles and a tandem so I have some experience). I would suggest you read Tolle's The Power of Now, or The New Earth to help with separating your desire and your Self. If you really are a 1% er, why not donate some of these bikes?
