Also think the asp would be a decent choice, but for maxed out trading combat the python is king, you can kill pretty much anything and still carry 200t, granted that will cost around 80 mil easy so maybe not yet.
You could also get a t 7 and an asp to replace the t6 and cobra respectively , but I'm sure you can get good combat capabilities with an asp and about 100t of cargo.
The t7 was for me a gateway ship , i don't know what the poster above me consider "good" but there are plenty large pad loops out there with about 3500cr total profit PR unit a t7 would make half a mil+ every 7-8 minutes.
As for cost a t7 fully rigged for trading costs less than a vulture or fully kitted out asp.
Interdictions I think vary with your combat ranking.
After I hit dangerous in combat ranking the t9 became an immediate death trap and just trying to use one for trading since has cost me 30 mil in insurance and lost cargo.
I too subscribe to the "moar ships" philosophy, I have now a mostly a rated python with about 70t cargo to running missions or whatever I feel like l, a trade anaconda with shields and guns, 18ly jump range with 432t cargo.
An assortment of toys, a couple of eagles (one imperial) a courier.
And I just today went back to diaguandri and bought a second anaconda I intend to fit out for combat duties, just need a another 2-300 mil to fix it up proper..
I recommend taking the trip to diaguandri since there as a 15% discount on both ships and fitting there, say buying a conda there easily saves you 20-40 mil, 15% really make a difference when your powerplant cost 150 mil..
