I had an idea for a script once. It's basically Jaws except when the guys in the boat are going after Jaws, they look around and there's an even bigger Jaws. The guys have to team up with Jaws to get Bigger Jaws.... I call it... Big Jaws!!!

I did a lot of blind testing, comparing, bullshiting, etc :-) over this in the last couple of months. There was actually a few items that did beat the hell out of their competitors..
www.curioza.com
This thing is 50 euros (and there is a 30-day trial as well). Now, for that price it gives a 25/50/100 band linear phase EQ of superb quality, a maximum 8-band multiband compressor, and a limiter (actually 3 limiters with different time constants stacked together). The limiter alone sounds much better (to me ears at least ) than almost ANY of the other softwares I have tested.
see:
Wavearts Finalplug (http://www.wavearts.com , demo available)
Kjaerhus MPL-1 (http://www.kjaerhusaudio.com/ )
Roger Nichols Finis (http://www.rogernicholsdigital.com/finis.htm , hmmm, pretty much sucked...)
T-Racks ( www.t-racks.com I own this, the limiter is good, but it adds a bit too much of fuzz eventually)
Waves L3 ( there are people raving about this, well, I'm not one of them )
The good thing about AAMS is that it can analyse references (already mastered audio material), and not just for EQ, but multiband compression (I believe it measures dynamic range per band) and loudness and set itself up based on differences between source and reference material. Also it can combine references, so you can have an analysis average out of several reference files...
It is not foolproof though, one has to find the right reference, but from that point on it can be fully automatic.
