Spanner is much much more than just a panner. When it goes to surround mixing, I'm spoiled enough to say I can't work without the Spanner. It also provide a down mixing ability and supports AS too. Ah...and a free iPad app allowing to control Spanner via Airport is a huge bonus as well.
Try it...get the demo.

The possibility of volume automation for each individual channel on a multichannel track alone is worth buying it, imho. (Actually that should be a PT feature...)
As mgoorevich said it's not just a panner, it is so much more and I use it all the time.

No more surround session without Spanner. Really. Easier to use and much more versatile than the built-in panner, and paired with its iPad app, it's really unbeatable.

Spanner is incredibily useful. If you're mixing multichannel formats I can't think of a reason not to have it. Wish there was a Fairlight version!

multichannel sends
Anyone else run into the issue of not being able to use multichannel sends when Spanner is instantiated on a track? I haven't had time to try it out (yet!) but that one was drawback another mixer mentioned to me.

Come on, the stock PT panner is dire. Spanner is miles above it.

Well I own AnyMix Pro too, but its a different beast.
I use it all the time for up mixing the music to 5.1
