I meant that even with recording at up to -6dbfs, I end up having to turn down most channels during mixdown, not to overload the mixbus.
So if the slightly hotter sweetspot of you preamp can't outperform the attenuation by a couple of dB of a trim plugin I'd stay with recording at 0dBV. But honestly, I don't believe so. But then I'm on Logic, where I haven't notice a quality drop when doing so.

I wouldn't use gain reduction plugins anyway, I'm happy with my gain staging, I posted the question after a friend asked me how to record at -18dbfs if he wanted to run his pres hot
