I know the Duende has not the same DSPs as a C200, so the algorithms were ported to this new architecture (kinda like porting plugins from TDM to native or from PPC to Intel). Possible they tweaked the algorithms a bit for optimal result.

The SSL Duende plugins are my main plugins these days. I still use some URS, but mainly the URS A, URS N and URS 1970. I don't use the URS SSL-style plugins anymore. I feel the Duende plugins are the best plugins I ever used. I think the URS was more modelled on the SSL4000, but seems I like the SSL9000 type of sound of the Duende more

I'm actually toying with the idea of adding a 2nd Duende (supported in the latest software version) to get up to 64 channels of SSL processing.
