[lwilliam]

Quite frankly, I'd opt for the standard package and spend the difference to get the Waves Native Power Pak and maybe a McDSP filterbank, analog channel, or compressorbank...or Realverb (although Waves Truverb comes with the NPP).

I've always said that the Waves NPP is one of the best bargains out there. The L1 itself is practically worth the money; add the Truverb, and you've got a real deal. The EQ and Compressor still get used a lot on my sessions. The new 3.5 versions also use less CPU.

I like the sound of the BF stuff, but it's pretty CPU heavy comparatively.
