The API is no Mackie/Beheinger.

I sure as hell hope not!! I'd think about the only way you should compare API and Smackie shit in the same sentence or paragraph would be:
"FOR SALE: Mackie stuff, buying API. Need to dump quickly! Priced to move."
-OR-
As I have evidently screwed up effectively trying to say;
The Mackie{Behringer}/API comment was a generalization as to whether there are some pieces of gear that are too versatile, and therefore are good at "XXX" but not great at "XXX".

And it is not TOO versatile.

I didn't believe that it was. I DIDN'T mean to imply that it was. Sorry if it seemed that way. Once again, a mind is a terrible thing!
OK, so far the short list of 2 buss comp/limiters to audition is looking like this:
API 2500 - It's an API - Versatility
Drawmer 1968 (ME) - Price Range - sonic quality
RMS Super Stereo - Price Range - ???
Crane Song STC-8 - Sonic quality
The STC-8 is a bit out of the price range (as new) I was hoping for, but if it does what I need to, it does what I need.
I wish I could afford all of em' just to put in the arsenal, but alas the ol' pockets ain't quite deep enough for that.
Anyone care to embelish on any of the above short list items?
Thanx again!
