Yes.
Keep in mind that multiband comps and dynamic eq's are two completely different things. There's been much bits spilled here on that subject. I have multiple version of each type of plugin so I know what's what. Dynamic eq allows you to specify a q factor and multiband comps don't. A multiband comp will more or less treat the pertinent band flatly bound by whatever crossover slope is used on each end of the band. I have C6 and it's pretty good and you're mistaken that it affects the signal when bypassed. I also have the FabFilter Pro MB and while expensive and a tricky beast to tame it's worth the effort. For dynamic eq I use the HOFA IQ-EQ which can work in both dynamic eq as well as regular eq and as a bonus work as a regular compressor. Again not cheap but worth it.
