With that list of equipment, I think demoing the Pendulum PL2, would be a good call. You might not send it back. I can tell from your words that you need a box that will strangle hold the output of your master buss [without the buss knowing it] which will make your life much easier, and it should be without ANY loss of tonal fidelity or depth. You can easily make things louder, and more forward and dense with your equipment and the PL2, but again, it does not add anything to the party other than radically transparent "stoppage" of your peaks. You can set it up so that it JUST catches troublesome material, or so that you're mix is made to be a thousand miles an hour, with a breaking system made of kryptonite with Superman himself holding his foot over the pedal constantly. Its does both, extreme stoppage for your buss, and extremely transparent audio at normal, human, work specific settings. Its hard to describe, until you hear it for yourself.
