People don't call UAD underpowered because they want to run 700 plugins in mix. They call it underpowered because almost $5k of UAD DSP will only host 60 instances of API Vision Channel Strip, while my native CPU can literally handle 1000 instances.
And my computer only cost $1500! There are definitely benefits to UAD-2 DSP like tracking through plugins on the way into Pro Tools or Unison Preamps, but there really is no getting around the fact that economically, UAD-2 has the worst plugin-instance-per-dollar of any platform out there. And it isn't just worse by a little bit. It is worse by magnitudes.
