already got Antares Auto-Tune and Mic Mod).

are they still a contender?

You betcha. I just wrote a rave review of their TDM Platinum Bundle for Pro
Audio Review magazine. The first part is in the current (November) issue and
part 2 will be in the December issue, due out in a few days.
Their stuff is expensive, as are most high end plugins, but very well worth it.
IMHO no plugin maker comes close to Waves' overall product line.

That does make a difference. The Universal Audio plug-ins that run on the UAD-1
card are usable with ProTools LE via a VST to RTAS adapter program.
"RTAS: Supported via special UAD-1 version of FXpansion's VST to RTAS Adapter."

Fletcher always spoke highly (Or at least not negatively) of the Bomb
Factory Pultec plug-ins. I used them recently and thought they were
useable. I couldn't compare them to the hardware versions as I have
little exposure to them but the plug-ins work well.

My facility has done a number of one day Recording Seminars, some with
Fletcher as one of the guest speakers.
For one of them we spent a Saturday afternoon just on compression.
Fletcher was not the least bit positive or for that matter interested
in Bomb Factory's or anyone else's software compressor plugs that day.
I've got some BF TDM plugs - they came for free with Protools hardware
- and I never use them.
I'd also like to mention that we have tentatively scheduled another
Celebration Recording Seminar for the last Saturday in February. This
one is entitled "Songwriting, Producing & Engineering", and will again
have have Fletcher, along with a fellow with national song writing
credits as guests, with me as the host. Will post more info here within
the next week.
