in my 26 year history as a developer and user of software, i have to say that the "single whole solutions" just about always turned out worse in the long haul than the "cooperating module" solutions. Your mileage may vary, of course. That experience has been repeated for me in the world of audio technology, where I have done much better buying cooperating modules and avoiding all in one solutions. Your mileage may vary here too.
Well my milage does vary, but that is to say nothing about Harrison Mixbus, hopefully it works great

Then focus on the cost for the DSP parts of mixbus. Is $80 for what it adds to regular Ardour worthwhile? Only you can answer that, different people will have very different answers, I am sure.
Yes it seems good value for money.

I'd still like the answer to my question. Their marketing implies it more than just plugin-lke DSP on the channels and busses.
