+1 - thi is the best software limiter I have come across as well, though Im sure Trev has probably tried more.
I also use either the UAD precision bus compressor, or their precision multiband compressor (usually the latter). Having a UAD DSP card in your DAW is worth it just for those precision series post-mix plugins.
TBH, I dont really use the 'bus compressor' that much, Ive got used to working with the multi-band comp which allows for much more precise tuning.
As for the precision limiter, another plus point for it is K-System metering. Its quite interesting when you try to completely abuse the the thing - it actually wont let you. I think it internally limits the amount of limiting to that needed to raise the average VU level to 0dBfs, regardless of what you set the input level too.
Downside for them, they add alot of latency to you DAW, so on most host you will need to remove them completely if you deceide you need to do some real time drop ins.
