Dear banbuzz,
You have a competitive profile for your target list of schools. I don't think a few more years of experience, just to simply add quantity, will make much of a difference. If you will gain some quality experience giving you managerial experience, then that might be worth waiting a year or two before applying to business school. Your list is heavy with highly selective schools. It will be important for you to distinguish yourself from similar applicants and make a compelling case for your admission.
Good luck,
Lisa
