While in general that's true, I think this test is different, because it includes Duende. From the SSL site:
"Based on the digital technology behind SSL’s C-Series consoles, Duende delivers the complete SSL mix experience"
Also,
"...an authentic SSL channel strip with filters, E and G series EQ and dynamics processing, as well as the legendary SSL Stereo Bus Compressor. "

Since this product is being made by the very company being replicated, (and in print ads, SSL says "Not just an emulation - it's the real deal"), then I think it's very valid to ask what it sounds like comapred to other SSL products.
