Agree with the above, you seem to have a good range of focal lenghts covered there at 18-55 and 70-500. The gap between 55-70 is not really used very often so you won't need to fill that.

There are 3 ways I can think of to expand what you have:

1. You could go for more IQ in which case you would get a prime, Perhaps a DA70 Ltd, or DA35 F2.4 (and save money with this). You already have an M 50 which I believe has excellent IQ already so I think the 35 would be great and the DA70 for portrait.

2. You could get more wider lenses. Not normally used for portraits but can be used for "fun" portraits with the distortion effects from the compression. I would suggest a DA15Ltd or a DA12-24 if you can fit that into your budget.

3. Get the Tamron 90mm macro, exceedingly sharp, can be used as a portrait lens for very sharp photos, and can also be used for macro photography to try something new :)
