This is fairly similar to what I do. I use DEVONthink as a repository for
all papers and documents, as it includes an automatic classification
capability and a kind of concordancer. I don't have the full version of
Acrobat. Instead I use the utility TextLightning to convert pdf documents to
editable rtf format automatically as documents are imported into DEVONthink.

Bookends allows for multiple links from one reference, a feature that led me
to toy with converting. (Not being able to download references into Bookends
was the clincher against it, though.)
There was quite a long discussion recently on the IdeaKeeper mailing list
which you may find interesting if you have the time. It started off as a
look for straight replacements for IdeaKeeper (which isn't going to be
developed for OS X), but turned into a reflection on the process of
research--and EndNote figured in this from time to time. Just look through
the February 2003 postings:
