I A/Bed it with DDMF EQs, especially the LP10, and I think it sounds better. It certainly beats the Logic LP EQ.

I'll probably buy it because I like the GUI and I need something on the Mac side like this. I can't find anything that beats it so far on the Mac side.

Also, PLParEQ is bringing my 8 core Intel Mac to its knees in 88.2 kHz sessions. I can get 10-15 instances at the high quality setting. The Pro-Q has a similar sound at maximum latency with WAAAAY less CPU hit. And I prefer the Pro-Q sound to Samplitude's built-in EQ, so it will probably find its way into complex mixes on the PC side when I run out of PLParEQ.
