If i just used "my" ears i woulda been stuck having terrible sounding mixes years ago. Thats why i ask lots of questions on this forum. Trying to learn the most i can and get some insight as to what other people may have found.
Sorry if I came across as harsh - and I can understand what you're saying here, but still - I recommend that you try stuff and see if you like it.

I can say I like the Massey TapeHead quite a bit, and I'll use it on all sorts of things, but its not to get more "SSL" or anything like that. I'll use it before, or after different emulating plugins, depending.

So, if I understand what you're asking, yes, saturation plugins are very worthwhile.
