UAD is worth it yes, for mixing. Apollo low latency is a complete scam and I have learned this the hard way after a huge outlay (read uad's small print.. 4 plugins in series with zero latency but only if the plugins have no additional latency, so only the 2007 circa Mk1 stuff, very few plugins in the big picture).
My apollo RTL through console is routinely at 8+ms, so, way too high.. just by putting a couple of comps and an EQ.

Jeepers! I would never have considered tracking through UAD plugins because I knew they introduced extra latency... but that is far beyond what I expected! My plan was to just use UAD in a a way to lighten the load on the CPU so I could keep the sample buffers lower for longer.... but it sounds like that isn't possible either? I would have thought even if UAD plugins introduced latency, they could still run comfortably at 64 sample buffers and ADC in Pro Tools would just kick into gear and take care of it when playing back a mix while tracking.
