DMG EQUALITY, PSP Noble EQ and DDMF IIEQPro exeriences?

Hi I got many recommendations both free and commercial for VST EQ plugs from another thread
Rather than add to that thread I want to focus on these three if that is not a problem. Obviously trying the Demos is the way to go and I will do so in a few days as I have been learning some new Dynamic plugs I've recently bought and want to have a handle on them first.
Equality is around $130.00 USD and boasts some glowing reviews on their site and a few have mentioned it here as well. PSP Noble EQ($69.00) looks like something I could learn to use faster and it does add color if that is what you want. And many many people both here and KVR sing high praises for DDMF IIEQPro and it is a modest $39.00. It sounds like it can do a lot of work on all sorts of source material, I am just not used to this type of EQ/GUI.
So a couple of ?'s
1. Users of Equality that have tried one or two of the others do you believe
it is in a league of it's own? Does it cover a lot of territory and would be the "go to" EQ? and warrant the price?
2. I could get Noble EQ and IIEQpro and that would be less than Equality.
So anyone correct me if I am wrong, would IIEQPro cover a lot of ground and is basically a "clean EQ?. It is pretty clear the PSP Noble EQ would be for color.
So say if you would spend around $150.00 on an EQ what would you chose regarding the above?
Finally I would like to ask users of any of these plugs for tips or any info
you might find useful so I can get going on the Demos quickly, and yes I am a RTFM type of guy. Thanks for any replies and I will still consider some of the other candidates from the other thread, it is just these 3 catch my attention more.

I have all 3. EQuality is my go-to, non-color. great for mixing or mastering.
I also prefer it over Fab Filter's Pro-Q.
Noble is similar to Pultec; color/ great on drums, bass, vox etc.
DDMF is also nice & transparent but I tend to use EQuality now, more features-easier to use.
Can't go wrong with any of them.

Try the demos...

I choose DDMF over others, it was much easier for me to use, and have more features. So, it really depends on user, as we see ))

I could have written that, except I haven't used Noble.
I had about 10 EQs and I have replaced all of them with EQuality.

If I need colour, I will use a dedicated saturation plug, which will be far more controllable than anything on an EQ.
I want to get SoundToys Decapitator and Brainworx's Saturator next, both look amazing.

But yeah, EQuality is the best EQ I've ever used.

This does make sense. Looked up SoundToys Decapitator and Brainworx's Saturator and I don't know. Decapitators demo doesn't require iLock2
but have seen posts here about SoundToys and discontent over 64 bit Dev.
There isn't much new info on Brainworx's Saturator and is it is 64 bit also priced pretty steep. Why not Slate Digital VTM? I now different animals
but in the end similar results. I trust Slate as I have bought several products from them. The demo requires iLock2 though, but I see where I can spend around $200.00 for it with an iLock2.

I see a trend going on here. This might be the one. I'll try this demo first. I'll spend some time on the manual, pick a wide selection genre wise Projects of some of my tracks and give it a go.
Thanks all. Keep them coming
