Well.. I don't need it as I don't use EQ very much.  If it ever comes down to $29, I would buy it out of GAS.

Do you never mix?

IMO for mixing EQ is the 2nd most important thing after the DAW, but YMMV!?

I just let Izotope and sometimes Sonible Smart EQ4 listen to my music and then I use the defaults.

I think that EQing is BIAS.  That it's up to the producer's ear.  There is no standard in EQing, and it's all about "hearing" it... and each producer would EQ it differently so that there isn't really a right or wrong method.

The only time I adjust any EQ is if something sounds muffled or unclear, or if I want more bass.  But rarely do I worry about it.

A great excuse not to spend that kind of money on an EQ even though Fabfilter is probably worth. 

I wonder if the average listener who know noting about music production ever says this would've been better if the EQ was right.   Someone will always convince us that's not true.  Yet we flock to see our favorite group perform in a venue that is nothing like a recording studio.

 There is a big difference between those who pay for your production and those who listen to it.

So you do use EQ but you are letting machine learning do the EQ for you, it seems this in part contradicts your theory as the point of Izotope and SmartEQ is to make the choices a seasoned experience producer would take, that is what the "listen" function does.  Most of the time those tools make things sound better than I would on my own (better grasp of bringing out the key elements and reducing things that muddy things or mask areas).  

EQ is easily the most important aspect of mixing using anything other than the Faders,
