I was considering replacing my HHX groove ride with an AAX cuz my crashes are real bright, so it doesnt blend well, but it kinda of grown on me. SO maybe later, i'll get a AAX ride, but for now my HHX ride is good. is the ideal of a ride supposed to be darker than the crashes??? or are they supposed to be all bright, or all dark?

Depends on what you want. I have smaller thinner crashes and splashes and chinas (Saluda Earthworks, Zildjian A customs), but heavy ride and hats (Zildjian Z Mega bell and Z dyno beats).
I like the mix myself.

they're supposed to sound good to you, work well together, and fit the music you're playing. other than that, there are no rules.

God I hate the stage ride! I would have bought the AAX pack ages ago if it wasnt for that in the box. Friend of mine bought the pack and just leaves the stage ride sittin in the corner, resorted back to using his pro sonix ride - which I think sounds amazing! All the same, Id love a HHX power ride myself.
