If the gain is going to be changed again, normalizing buys you nothing but additional noise, distortion and more potential for faulty math.
Interesting.

Working under that assumption, you could argue it makes sense to run a few copies of the master (with the 10 plugins, all doing complex math) and pick the copy with the least faulty math. I wonder if people do this (I wouldn't).
