I use the Pendulum PL-2 in front of the Lavry Gold ADC for mastering almost every day. It is very transparent but is used along with other units as I never want to use any one thing to do all the work.

The reason I got it in to try was that before I got Gold I was using an Apogee with soft limit, which I found useful, and wanted to have the same type of device before the ADC. I discovered that the Apogee soft limit was an analog device whereas all the other limiters in converters are digital. The PL-2 is much, much better and more transparent than the Apogee Soft Limit.

As always, try to get a demo unit in your studio first to make sure it does what you want.

As for the Lavry Gold Soft Sat., I find it very coloured and heavy handed for my mastering work so don't use it much but you are using it for mixing so probably have a different approach.
