I've yet to try the URS Classic Console Strip Pro. It was at a studio I recently tracked at, but I didn't get a chance to do any mixing. I can't afford it for home either, haha. Might have to stick with the Waves SSL E-Channel

aw dude, no way. URS Strip Pro is fucking amazzzing on everything. super versatile
kind of a CPU pig on my system though
the EQ's alone are totally worth it.
