You have enough italian, enough captoes, and enough mid-browns

get something English or American, in light tan or burgundy, a wingtip, monk, PTB, or norwegian toe

You've got too much of the same thing. You need something black and some different styles.

How do English or American shoes compare to Italian, style wise?

DC Lewis double monk
Anything in burgundy/oxblood - not a captoe though!
Dark brown suede - wingtip or plain toe

Generally:

English = classic
American = blobby
Italian = pointy/fashion forward

I also love the C&J Edgware (sp?) Not a wingtip, but beautiful. Spoo has some pictures of them up somewhere here.
