Logic's new EQs and a few EQ related questions..

I was wondering if anyone is playing with these. I'll start off by saying that I've never worked with a Pultec before. I mean, I watched a few youtube videos so I knew they were a different animal, and came real close to buying a Waves plug a few times but I seemed to remember a thread or two here with some folks knocking them (maybe it was a particular piece of hardware) and I figured it would just be another EQ I probably wouldn't use.

Now maybe I just had a good first date with the thing, but I'm pretty amazed at what it does and in particular how smoothly it does it. I put them on some acoustic guitar and piano and just found it was super easy to get them to sit better in the mix.   I went back out to youtube and found a video or two where Logic's Pultec was shot out against UA's.  UA's was beefier sounding at the same settings - and louder really - so I wonder that they're just 'calibrated' differently.  Also I started playing with the Linear Phase EQ (I don't think that's new), mostly for surgically cutting out funky room resonances, and I was hoping that someone could share when and where they use these.  I have a couple more related questions, but I don't want to hijack my own thread.  Really, it doesn't have to be about Logic's EQ's
