I own this as well as the MBP unit. Both are obviously great. The new MBT really fills out the mix well with great color and also helps fatten up individual tracts as it should... In this rack spot I previously had an SSL Fusion Mastering unit and can safely say it not anywhere in the same league as the Neve Units. Spend the extra money if you got it and you're debating between a Rupert Neve unit versus the SSL Fusion.. The MBP's compressor is much more subtle than the MBT, but it adds a lot more color I feel.
