We have a leading candidate for the Cassini extended mission... aerobrake into orbit around Titan and bang away through the methane hole. From a couple of hundred kms up, Cassini's cameras/spectrometers would do an amazing job... the narrow-angle optics doing as well as the descent panoramas but in color and w/ many more pixels. A noble end for the mission later this decade.
