The first time I listened was through headphones on my macbook playing through Itunes. Now I opened it up in PT and heard "bigger" differences and would have to agree with you.
But... The differences are still pretty slight and I feel UA did a fine job.
I always tend to track with whatever flavors I need for this reason. You get way more depth out the final mix, ITB... but the plugins are getting closer everyday.
Speaking of the 160vu, does anyone know much about the dbx 118 mod that can be done to get more of a 160vu behavior out of it? We have one kicking around and I use from time to time. It is vibey as hell.
