Honestly, I agree with Tony - I don't think you want an analog limiter for what you're describing. Brickwalling at the end of the chain is one of those few things digital often truly can do far better than analog. That said, I also hate the middiness of the L2 like Roc was describing.
Before you invest in something else, give the Sony Oxford (Sonnox) limiter a try. It's far superior to the L2 imo. Much more Hi-Fi and action sounding. Flux is another good option.
You can demo both free:
