Hi Paul--
It depends a bit on the type of EQ you like or need.  What audio app 
do you use?

I often do a lot of very narrow notching along with more traditional 
parametric and shelving EQ-- all at the same time. Equim/Uniquel-izer 
allow one to use many kinds of EQ and up to 99 "bands" with good 
transparency and low CPU usage.  They later makes for responsive 
real-time previewing which is a key performance factor for me. 
Equim/Uniquel-izer  enjoys a good reputation in several audio 
disciplines for transparency and accuracy.

The higher, Roger Nichols price is unfortunate. There's a 14 day free 
trial. The rival plugs I hear discussed seem to cost as much or more. 
I don't know why the pro editors don't include a comparable EQ plug, 
but the "stock" ones I've tried in Logic, ProTools and Audition seem 
quite crude in comparison. I'm always open to new EQ options. Rob D.
