most gonna hit their analogue gear anyway, they simply use their volume knobs on their d/a to in-decrease the volume. If the ME would really depend on ~ 3db headroom for processing i guess they would all kill themself pretty soon.
of course the L2 changes the sound of the mix, but in a way that shouldnt be part of a mixdown imho. as i said alrdy, leave it to the ME. limiting is one of the LAST things being applied.
good luck
