I bought the URS N12 when it was on sale to PT users about 6 months ago and love it. Rail's comment at the time was that if something needed surgery, he used WAVES for eq, but if it was well recorded, he went for the URS eqs. I find his comment perfect, as it describes how I feel about the N12. Never used any other of their plug-ins or the real stuff they are modeled after. Hope that helps.
