Alternative to Waves Studio Classics

I want to purchase the Waves Studio Classics package mainly for the SSL stuff, but I feel it is too expensive to justify. Any good alternative recommendations? I use a laptop so Dongles and Firewire hardware solutions are not a great option either...

How about just the SSL package without the others?

Yes, or a UA Xpander and the UA plugs, but I think that will set you back just as much.

Thanks Guys.

I like the Glue. But I still need an EQ.
I am looking at the Duende Mini, but then I loose the firewire bus...Does the X-Verb run on the mini too? Cause I am not liking ITB reverb at the moment...

I'm sure there are other eqs out there that have the SSL curves...unless you are attached to that GUI.

Otherwise, those eqs are the same.

MCDSP filterbank was doing the curves of other eqs long before other people jumped onto the bandwagon but they weren't smart enough to slap a fancy GUI on it and sell it for all formats...ahhh...what could have been.

Before writing off studio classics and/or ssl bundle as too expensive, have you asked any resellers their prices? you'd be mad to pay the prices listed on the waves site...
