Thanks for all the thoughts. Good to know that UAD plugins are compatible with offline bounce. In reality I won't be using/needing it that much because I mostly do music and short-form audiobooks. But for the occasional comedy album or longer podcast/audiobook I've always longed for it. But I also almost always use outboard I/O and midi, and am going to try to use as many DSP plugins as possible to try to save my CPU for where it's needed, and hopefully justify the purchase of the HDX card (??). So mostly I won't need it, or be able to run it. I must say though, it is disconcerting to have had a glitch right up front in only my second offline bounce ever...
