Try the demo before you buy. People (like the vendors of the other products being compared here) say that this comparison test is very biased. He could have used alternative settings on the other limiters that would have made them sound a lot different in this "comparison".

I haven't got the demo yet, but from what I can tell from opinions of people i trust is that this is a "safe" limiter. It is more like a compressor, and will pump. It preserves the transients this way, and therefore has the effect of pushing the sound into the background. Fine if that's what you want, but if you want a modern forward sound, you might get better results with something like Elephant or a clipper.
