WEISS? Fabfilter? iZotope?

[Alexxon]

Just a quick question. If I already own Fabfilter & iZotope Neutron, is there any reason that can make me purcahse Softube's WEISS collection? They are both digital processing units, but from my personal observation, Fabfilter is the most flexiable one. Is there any reason for me to get a WEISS?

Both Fabfilter & iZotope Neutron are excellent tools and certainly more than adequate for anything you might want.
The only thing that can make you choose Weiss’s tools is if you like what they do enough.
Everything has it’s own user experience, and they all differ. Weiss make amazing and very expensive devices that are at the top of the spectrum for digital processing.
The plugin emulations are direct ports of the actual algorithms from the hardware and if you like that style of interface, are among the best. All you can do is demo them and decide for yourself.

Thank you so much for your reply Richard! I actually I do like the WEISS's interface a lot. But that couldn't be the reason to let me buy them. I was wondering, can WEISS itself distinguish itself in terms of sound?

btw I just tried the demo and I think DS-1 is truly amazing. But for EQ-1 it does not impress me that much, since I still prefer Fabfilter Pro-Q3's flexibility.
