Joemeek twinQ or seperate eq and compressor

ill be buying a firestudio project soon, and i was planning on getting a dual eq and dual compressor for the inserts on ch 1 and 2 on the firestudio. i was thinking of a preamp aswell just to give some different sounds from the preamps in the firestudio, so i looked up some Joemeek stuff. they have a dual compressor and dual eq all in one, i think it could be a preamp too.

Joemeek compressor sounds

Was doing 'cabaret' or Ben Folds Five, style piano today (a synth), LOTS of slammed down hard chords, in a jazzy rock track, the stereo Joemeek (SV3?) I have made a nice round 'crushed' sound..

I also used it on Di bass..

I dunno, I was going to sell it, cause it is 'weird' and not used so often.

Any one digging Joemeek compression?

On what?

Urei LA-4, Joemeek SC2.2, ART Pro VLA, others?

OK so after I get a good mic preamp to complete the signal chain I need a good compressor. I'd like to stay under 1000 if I can. I already have the FMR so I'd like an alternative that may add warmth. THe LA-4, SC2.2, and ART Pro VLA all seem in my price range, has anyone used them? Are they warm yet don't destroy the clarity? or are there others I am missing?
