More HRE electorates

We're talking after Hanover was raised to an electorate but before the Napoleonic Wars, at which point the dignity started getting thrown around. Here's the ones I think are most likely:

Austria: Most likely candidate if the Habsburgs try to get another vote for themselves beside Bohemia's.
Salzburg: The only archbishopric in the HRE that was not also an electorate (maybe, I'm not sure about Besancon). The archbishop was Primas Germaniae.
Wurttemberg: The electoral college was skewed toward the Catholic states and Wurttemberg is among the more important Protestant ones, so it could be made an electorate for the sake of balance.
Hesse-Kassel: Same as above.
Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel: Tried to get the electorate at the same time as Hanover.

Any other proposals? When were the best opportunities for a new electorate?
 
Judging by the ones raised during the Napoleonic Wars, Regensburg and Baden are also posibilities.

Regensburg was a free imperial city before 1803, so it's out of the question. Baden was divided in 2 (Baden-Baden and Baden-Durlach) until 1771, at which point it becomes a viable candidate.

Keep in mind the religious balance. The first electorate after Frederick Augustus I of Saxony's conversion to Catholicism (performed for the sake of the Polish crown) would most likely be a Protestant one, unless there's a whole batch of them at the same time, in which case there would be a Catholic-Protestant mix.
 
Another point is that one person can only hold one electoral vote; so an Austrian electorate would merge with the Bohemian electorate, so as electorate Palatine and electorate of Bavaria merged when they were held by the same person.

Ah, forgot about that. I guess Austria (by which I mean the archduchy, Upper and Lower Austria) is out of the question then, unless the Habsburgs decide to split their HRE line into an Austrian and a Bohemian one.

Or the Habsburgs lose Bohemia in the 30 yrs war to the elector Palatine or later to the elector of Bavaria during the war of the Austrian succession; since the Palatinate and later Bavaria already were electorates, they end up compensating the Habsburgs by allowing the archduchy of Austria to fill the vacant electoral spot.

If the Palatinate continues in a union with Bohemia, the electors would be evenly divided with the Protestant secular electors and the Catholic ecclesiastical electors, so for the Habsburgs to regain influence in Germany they would elevate the Archduchy of Austria to an electorate, true.
 
During the 30 yrs war the Catholic Bavarian Wittelsbachs were given the electoral dignity (by the Catholic emperor), although the protestant Palatinate Wittelsbachs disputed this. In a similar way both the Palatinate and the Austrian Habsburgs would claim the position of Bohemia, just as eventually both Wittelsbach branches were allowed to keep their electoral position (officially the Palatinate got a new one), so could the conflict about Bohemia be resolved. The Austrian Habsburgs could eventually be forced to accept the loss of Bohemia, but they could be allowed to keep their electoral dignity, so a new electorate could be created for them.
