it's scary what results some reverb plug-ins give.
Also nice for checking out impulses.
I wouldn't worry too much about the phase response at a given frequency. What you need to look for is if the phase response is uneven over the whole frequency range. A real room might show a VERY pronounced left or right lean for a given sine wave, but shift the frequency of the sine wave by a few hertz, and the lean should jump around a lot. What is critical is the density of the resonances and antiresonances, and that they are effectively randomly distributed.

PS: I can't wait to get my hands on the Eos plug which will hopefully be soon.
Are you a fan of the Eventide verbs?
I've only heard the SP2016 ports to VST that Eventide / Princeton Digital did a few years back. Those sounded nice, but weren't an influence on my algorithms. Chris and Adam at Audio Damage are both big Eventide fans, and it was their tastes that shaped the development of the algorithms.
