And you can keep all of the track-based FX the same.

Perhaps you want a drum pattern and you want all FX the same, except the EQ different during the verses. Trivial to do with Clip FX.

EQ a singer differently during different sections. And so on.

Equally trivial to do with AudioSuite. I too don't really get what is so great about Clip FX - perhaps as a temp? In all the examples you give, I'd have zero problem with making those corrections permanent in AS.

My main problem with Clip FX right now is that all systems that load your project have to be 12.6 or higher. For Post, that feels a long way off. For someone either using only a small number of known suites or just working alone, I see it as another option that might be suited for particular tasks, but it still feels pretty un-essential to me.
