You misread what I wrote. I compared it to the UAD LA-2A plugin, not the UA LA-2A.

The Stam stuff has a good rep but you can wait a really long time between ordering and receiving.

I'm not experienced enough to feel confident committing to an eq on the way in, and I don't feel any pressing need to route tracks out and in again to use an outboard eq.

A friend and I have done that with some things ...flatbed trailer, power washer, wood chipper... things we each need sometimes but not very often. It's worked out pretty well over the years.
