How come TUBE TECH LCA-2B compressor gets no respect?

I thought a tube compressor would compliment my Alan Smart C-1 nicely for my 2-bus and final master to CD but can't for the life of me find any glowing reviews anywhere on the unit. It's obviously a high-endpiece of gear but from what I read on forums though the Manley vari-mu (which I couldn't afford) definitely is preferred by most.

Vintech X81-Distressor or TUBE TECH comp . Killer VOX?

Hey all, planning towards new additions. Primary style Gospel-Hip-Hop, RAP, R&B, etc. Current pieces:

SP C1
MXL V69M
Focusrite ISA 428
MOTU 2408MKIII

I'm wanting to add to my pallete the Vintech X81 and either the TUBE TECH compressor or the Distressor. I also am locked on the Blues Kiwi and the AD card for the ISA.
