I'm both relieved and sad that so many others have selected the "over 1000" option. It's easy to forget that this place is a kind of an echo chamber that often lacks a voice of reason that would say "don't buy it, you don't need it".
As an aside: It would be interesting if major DAWs collected statistics of installed plugins and plugins that were actually active when tracks were bounced. We could then use that data to create a table that showed which plugins people prefer over others.
This is something I often wonder when people recommend a plugin, because I don't know what other plugins they have. It's easy to recommend some cheap EQ if that's all you have, but if you have a dozen $200+ EQs and still always use the cheap one, that recommendation carries a different weight.
