I am a big fan of iZotope's work. I love the EQ and maximizer wrapped into the Ozone package. I often will start with one of their presets and then tweak it and save it to my archive file.
When I am doing restoration work I cannot speak highly enough of, and really, really love, RX 5 Connect. The ability to tie my editor straight into RX 5 Advanced and back so seamlessly is worth the price of admission, and that is a lot.
@johnw, I am unsure what you do not find intuitive with MSED. It is such a simple tool I am unsure what I would do without it. I run a MS pair every opportunity I get. I love the flexibility in post. I have the ability to run Double MS now but am not sure that I want to take the gamble with how precise placement should be.
