Had the Tube-Tech multiband and got rid of it for the single band CL-2A. Much prefer the sound- very similar to a pair of CL-1Bs, close enough for me anyway. But the tube-techs are subtle and used more for acoustic/rock music.

Very, very rarely use mutiband on decent mixes of electronic music. If i need to the Weiss DS-1 covers most duties. It's generally a bass note popping it's head out, and a decent EQ will most do the job.

The TC Phoenix is the best tube compressor so far I've ever used for electronic music. I don't quite understand why multiband would give you more punch...a single band with high pass filter in the side chain will do the trick.
