Variety is the spice of life. I like the word variety but I have no problem with "diversify." There have been times in my life when I have hewed to too narrow a path in all kinds of ways -- eating the same kinds of foods, watching the same kinds of shows, doing the same kind of exercise. "You should diversify," I’ve been advised by friends with different habits when they heard me express boredom. What they were recommending was "variety," but what I needed to do was "diversify." To stick with what I had out of mere stubbornness is called "narrow-mindedness."
OP, it sounds like you have wound up with a variety of kinds of gear, likely producing different sonics. My guess is that you now have a broader understanding of different ways that music can sound -- and the virtues of those different outcomes -- than me and probably many others.
If you were narrow before, now you can call yourself "diversified" because you made an effort to broaden your mindset and experiments.
If you wound up with different gear by chance, you’re not diversified; you just wound up, blessedly, as "experienced."
