Powering multiple voltages on a pedalboard

So I've been progressively building up my stomp boxes for a little while now, and am looking at options to power the lot.

VT Bass - 9v (100mA)
Dunlop 105Q - 9v (100mA)
Corona Chorus - 9v (100mA)
Echobox - 9v (100mA)
Deep Impact - 9v (180mA)
Demon King - 9v (?mA)
Diamond Bass Compressor - 18-24v (18mA)
Rusty Box - 24-40v (100mA)

= 6 x 9v
1 x 18v
1 x 30v

I currently have 3 PSU's (a boss 9v + 6 way daisy chain, 1 x 18v PSU, 1 x 30v PSU).

I realise daisy chains aren't the best option, but to date I've only used up to 4 x 9v pedals simultaneously. I can't say I've noticed any issues.

So now I'm tossing up whether I should buy an extension powerboard for the 3 PSUs, or buy a central power supply like the Voodoo labs one. The price is obviously a bit hit, do I really need one? Also, should I be concerned about the effects with unusual voltage requirements - the Diamond BC and Rusty Box.

Any words of wisdom?

Cheers
