RE: BBE SOnic Maximiser
It is too good to be true.
Be extremely wary of things that mess with phase when treating an entire mix. Phase tricks are fine for individual tracks for flavor, but do it on the whole shebang and you might as well throw all your hopes for mix translation on other systems out the window. I've never been in a "pro" studio that has a BBE racked anywhere. The hi shelf boost on a mackie mixer is more pleasing to my ear, personally....
Use it live though! Great for that (if you can get it cheaper than a mackie mixer!) But put your mix through it and I will fold my arms and shake my head in your general direction.
