Good advice.  I would point out, though, that it's really important to
know the frequency range limitations of your monitors.  If your monitors
have a range of 50Hz - 15kHz, for example, you could have some very
unfortunate things going on at 40Hz and not have any hint of it until
you heard the mix on a full range system.  No matter how familiar you
are with your monitors, if you've got stuff going on that they can't
reproduce, you'll never know.
