No, I am happy with PCM-.91. Sometimes I feel that some reverb plugin sounds really good, but when I return to PCM, this illusion disappears very quickly ...
96kHz would be nice (I work in it all the time now). I have some problems with analog inserts, since there is always some ground hum coming.
So after recording everything in 96 kHz, I transport all the tracks to 44,1 session (using Voxengo SRC) and mix it there. Still retaining the advantage of higher sound quality of 96 kHz

I never heard TC reverb, but I absolutely don“t care how "realistic" the reverb is. I need nice, lush musical sound. And from what I heard, this is a domain of Lexicon ...

I actually compared directly Waves IR 1 (reverb units samples) with Lexicon 91, Lexicon was always the clear winner ... Much more sophisticated, professional sound.
