None of the above. Try the wave arts final plug (www.wavearts.com)
For what some of those others cost, you can get the whole Wave Arts Power Suite 5.

I don't have any of the others but So far ALL of the Massey stuff has been musical and usable. The 2007 is available as a unlimited demo, give it a go. Its gotta win the bang for the buck award.

Massey L2000 would be my pick, most musical, i like it more than the L3,L2, wave arts, im not sure about the sony (i dont have it). L2000 cost fraction of the others and is to me better. Go get the free one, i did not need more tha the free one, but to be honest with you, the best result i got using limiter is when using different limiters (like the l2000 and l3 and others in a chine) where i only use a tiny bit of each, that to me sounds the best, but to use one i would pick the l2000 (like i said the free one is good enough)

none because you shouldnt be putting a limiter or anything for that matter on your master fader. limiting should be left untill the final stage of mastering.

if you must have something then the massey is the way to go. its up there with the sony, and at the price it cant be beat. anyone that compares the massey and or sony to an L2 will never use an L2 again.

I agree, the Massey works very well. I also like the Waves L2 / L3, but they aren't cheap...

Yes and no. Depends on your mixing techniques.
Have you seen Charles Dye's "Mix It Like A Record?"
Hard to argue with a guy who has as many runs on the board as he does.
