I have heard rave reviews about the El8 Distressor and have been told many times I must compress on the way in.

I have 2 questions:

What is the bennefit of compressing on the way in instead of just using a plug in?

Obviously there are sound qualities that say a Massey plug in will not create that the Distressor will, but let's say I have to choose between a DBX 160a VS Only compressing via Massey. Which would you reccomend and why?
