Must be the Aussie connection. I'm enjoying this forum less and less due to brand X plug-in vs brand Y limiter, what's the best settings etc.

I'll give an example- I use the Weiss DS-1 for limiting. But if it was unavailable for a session I could use the L2 or TC electronics without any problem, because I know the sound of them and would use EQ to tame the limiting to how I wanted it to sound and drive it properly with correct gain structure. Perhaps it's because we come from a mixing background and are used to working within the limitations of the gear available. That's what I call engineering.

1. Technique first
2. Gear second

Most of the posts lately have been the other way round.
