Good points, guys. They are all trying to sell these as emus of the real thing, so which one really does sound like the real thing. I don't think it would have much bearing on my purchase though. I would look at the plug that most pleased my ears. Back when the Waves SSL plugs came out there was a shootout with the real SSL buss comp, Waves and URS. I liked URS the best even though it didn't sound the most like the original. It will be interesting to see what #6 is. I'm afraid it's the Duende, cause I'd hate to have to shell out that kind of money for that sound.
