The real sound of tubes is usually less "tubey" than the copy-cats, because the plugs are trying to create audible harmonic distiortion and dirt. Genuine high-quality tube gear is trying to be high-fidelity, and detailed with plenty of headroom.

There are very few vocals that go through my DAW without getting PSP Vintage Warmer slapped on them.
It is not just subtle, it has almost no blatant artifacts.
This as close to an actual tube comp as plug ins may ever get, IMHO.
Dramatic, tight, clean, and warm.
It sounds like electrons.
No mean feat.
Definitely worth the outlay.
The difference?
For a plug-in, precious llittle.
I don't hear a "signature sound" and that, for a plug-in - is the shit, for my money.
All that crunchy BS that tube sims stuff up your flue is not what tubes are about.
