What about Wave Arts final Plug? The best mastering limitor that I have personally encountered yet. Think you can get a demo of that too. The presets out of the box are great!

In the meantime, I'm doing most of the work in Sonar with the LP64 EQ and Compressor, and anything sergical I'm doing in Sound Forge - removing clicks and pops and the like. Final level adjustments in Sound Forge too, but most processing in sonar now. I'm going to investigate the bundle of mid/side processing plug-ins from Brainworx in the coming week. I hope they're accessible, since their stereo image manipulation is even better than what iZotope are doing. If anybody else wants to play with them, you can download 14-day trial versions that don't require an iLock from http://www.brainworx-music.de/en/download Something I'd love to find is a limiter that I can't hear working. Boost11 is great in its simplicity, but I can hear it knocking things down. Same with Waves L2 and the stuff in Sound Forge.
