I would not go that far!
The X-Comp is great, but it is no substitute for the fabulous UAD plugins. It won´t substitute a 1176, fairchild, precision series...UAD has so many different plugins. X.comp is a great addition, but never ever would I part with my 4 UAD cards.
I liked the X-EQ as well, but it is not so outstandingly better than other excellene software EQs. The big plus of the two SSL plugs is that they are much more versatile than the standard SSL processing. more bands, more overlap, wider parameter ranges - all with the excellent Duende sound. I would happily trade the Duende channel strips against the X.comp and X.eq, but they are no substitute for UAD (and vice versa).
